Sometimes this goes along with missing or partial frames. We have seen it happening when something goes wrong with the spooling, e.g. when the hard drive is too slow or too full or too many files in one folder.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW the images are not in focus and you seem to collect quite a bit of laser speckles. Clearly a sign for a bad emission filter or that your laser needs a clean-up filter.</div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div>Jan</div><div><br><div>
