1. This second method, reportedly, reduces smear, dark current , and infrared and red response. 2. But her hopes are tempered by a dark current of fatalism. 3. Thus, finally, phototransduction is deactivated, and the dark current and glutamate release is restored. 4. But as with so many families, dark currents lie underneath. 5. Photon-counting applications generally demand photomultipliers designed to minimise dark current . 6. This dark current keeps the cell depolarized at about-40 mV. 7. Flat fielding refers to the process of compensating for different dark currents in a detector. 8. In this mode the diode is often dark current without much change in the photocurrent. 9. He was watching the dark current run past, eddying among the tree roots at the bank. 10. In general, the instruments are cooled to reduce the amount of dark current within the devices.
