3.7 Enhance Slider

The diffraction image can have a very large dynamic range which is difficult to display in a single image. Thus, the displayed image visual enhancement (VE) or gain can be increased to better view the lower-intensity parts of the diffraction image. The Enhance slider bar can be changed from 1-10 allowing the diffraction pattern to have a multiplier of the selected slider value. The default enhancement is 1.

Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 are examples of modeled DMD diffraction pattern using various enhancement values. The enhancement is used to help understand the dynamic range of the diffraction pattern.
