Abstract: Corrected images are produced with an apparatus that includes a detector and a control unit. In a first operating mode, a plurality of image tiles of an object are captured as a plurality of image pixels. The control unit generates commands to capture each image, such that it partially overlaps with at least one other image tile in an image tile overlap region having a minimum size. Each captured image tile and/or a resultant image is combined pixel-wise by calculation in a brightness correction image. In a second operating mode, the brightness correction image is produced by capturing a plurality of correction image tiles of the object as a plurality of image pixels, and control commands are generated, so the object is moved relative to a detection beam path and a size of a correction image overlap region is greater than the minimum size of the image tile overlap region.

Abstract: System for enabling circuit board surface-slot-edge connections. A main board includes a slot through its surfaces. At least one edge of the slot includes electrical contacts to the main board. An auxiliary board includes a connector component mounted on a surface that opposes a surface of the main board. When the connector component is aligned with the slot, the connector component can protrude vertically through the slot, in addition to moving laterally towards an edge of the slot. Electrical contacts on the edge of the slot can engage with electrical contacts in the connector component. This enables two boards to be arranged closely, without extending the main surface in an orthogonal or lateral direction, using a secure connection provided by a connector attached to the auxiliary board, rather than the main board.
