Abstract
An image system for detecting chemiluminescence in a sample uses a highly binned, short exposure initial image to calculate the exposure time for a final image of the sample. After calculation of the exposure time, at least two final images are taken, with saturated pixels removed and replaced in a first image with corresponding unsaturated pixels from a second image. The corresponding pixels are adjusted to reflect the different intensity levels between the first and second images, and the first image becomes the final image reflecting the detected chemiluminescence.
