Hello Gerhard,
This is a slightly off-topic question in connection to your recent response
to the thread on the choice of sCMOS cameras.

You made a comment that the distribution of noise in sCMOS is not Gaussian.

Can you clarify whether you meant noise during the readout process (charge
to voltage conversion step)? If it is not Gaussian, what is the underlying
noise process? Is there any literature that you can point me to?

Thanks.
