Binning
Binning is the ability to clock multiple
pixel charges in both the horizontal and vertical direction into
a single larger charge or "super pixel." This super pixel
represents the area of all the individual pixels contributing to
the charge. A binning of 1x1 means that an individual pixel is being
used as is. A binning of 2x2 means that an area of 4 adjacent pixels
have been combined into one larger pixel, and so on. In this example,
the sensitivity to light has also been increased 4 times (the four
pixel contributions), but the resolution of the image has been cut
in half. Binning can be a very useful tool. It can be used to effectively
increase the pixel size while also increasing sensitivity. It is
a good method for focusing, because image acquisition speeds up
greatly while giving greater sensitivity to lower out-of-focus light
levels.
