Notes:
The question of an optimum exposure time for an event counting charge coupled device electron detection system is discussed [B. D. Hall, M. Flüeli, J. -P. Borel, and R. Monot, Rev. Sci. Instrum. (in press)]. The system is a null-event detector, providing a single piece of information per exposure: whether an event has not been detected. It is shown that when the number of exposure periods is fixed, optimum operation conditions require high exposures, in spite of the loss of information due to multiple events being detected as single ones.
