Abstract
An inspection system that includes multiple pixel circuits, a readout circuit and a processing circuit. The multiple pixel circuits are configured to generate detection signals. The readout circuit is configured to read the detection signals. The processing circuit is configured to process the detection signals by applying one or more compensation functions. The one or more compensation functions are determined based on pixel circuit gain functions. For each pixel circuit, a pixel circuit gain function includes a set of a group of pixel circuit related values that include a sub-set of border region pixel circuit related values that are located within a border region of the pixel circuit dynamic range. The border region includes a border between the first part of the pixel circuit dynamic range and the second part of the pixel circuit dynamic range.
