warren "As to time-averaging, I think it'd be pretty easy to implement, but would ONLY work if a spectrum is really vertically aligned -- so no uploaded sp..." | Read more » about 7 years ago
warren "Hi, Dave - try reloading the page - i briefly edited the spectrum while chasing a bug, so you may have seen it in the wrong state -- tell me what y..." | Read more » about 7 years ago
warren "Hi, Chris - because we used lots of peaks to determine "fitness", we'd need all of the following nanometer positions plus their intensity (0-255): ..." | Read more » about 7 years ago
warren "Note: If this looks good, I can package it up as a "noise reduction" tool in its own right -- the Transform operation may enable us to quickly crea..." | Read more » about 7 years ago
warren "Well, both images were taken from the same device within about 20 minutes, so you can check their images against one another even if they're not ac..." | Read more » about 7 years ago
warren "I added an update about suitability of long-tube fluorescent bulbs (non CFLs) for calibration which should be interesting to @liz and maybe @cfasti..." | Read more » about 7 years ago

warren "That's a great spectrum! I didn't know ruby fluoresced. Was that with a 405nm laser? Do you mean amplifying the peaks, so they're "taller"? I beli..." | Read more » over 7 years ago
warren "Hmm. So I'm wondering if part of the fit problem is because we're simply comparing intensity at the 14 points and 13 troughs. Take this example: ..." | Read more » over 7 years ago
warren "Cool, thanks! I was mainly looking for a citation for the most common forms of Hg, and/or a clear reference for which is found in CFL bulbs. But aw..." | Read more » over 7 years ago

warren "Hmm. I guess there are pros and cons to each approach. I agree that the 546 line doesn't result in a great linear calibration -- some end up about..." | Read more » over 7 years ago

warren "Would you be willing to try a recalibration using the 436/546 lines as a starting point? Would that be useful as a point of comparison? Also - I b..." | Read more » over 7 years ago
warren "If it's helpful, we can probably ask some of the OTK beta participants for one, since a couple have access to lab spectrometers. In your image/ima..." | Read more » over 7 years ago

warren "Hmm, is there a reason Hg (0) is not listed in the NIST spectra? Perhaps Hg (0) does not have any intense peaks? My list is filtered for most inten..." | Read more » over 7 years ago

warren "I see that the 14 peaks you've chosen are sourced from the NIST data, not the Wikipedia/Ocean Optics data. OK, one last issue -- for intensities o..." | Read more » over 7 years ago
