Data underlying the publication "Testing the performance of an EMCCD camera in measuring single-grain (thermo) luminescence in comparison to a laser-based single-grain system"

+ One-grain experiment <br>We measured 20 single-grain discs with one grain per disc from sample NCL-1821112, which has been bleached for 48 hours in a solar simulator prior to measurements. Please visit the Netherlands Centre for Luminescence dating (NCL) database for more information on the sample background at: https://www.lumid.nl/. On the website go to the 'projects' tab and search for NCL-code 1821. The measurement protocol, as reported in Table 1 of the manuscript, was repeated 8 times for incremental aperture steps.  <br><br>+ Reader comparison experiment <br>We measured 20 single-grain discs per reader all originating from NCL-1821112, which has been bleached for 48 hours in a solar simulator prior to measurements, to compare the performance of both devices.  <br><br>+ Measurement protocols and data formats <br>The measurement protocols were written in Riso's sequence editor software. All Riso software is downloadable at: https://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/radphys/research/radiation-instruments/tl_osl_reader/software. <br>The raw data is stored in a Riso .binx file which can be opened in Riso's analyst software environment. EMCCD generated luminescence images has been analyzed in Riso's Viewer+ software before further analyses. <br><br>+ Processing and analysis scripts in R <br>All processing of data (modifications, calculations, etx) and analysis of data was performed in R. All scripts are commented. Per experiment an R script was written.  <br><br>+ Figures and tables <br>All figures and tables were created through R. Refer to the R scripts for detailed information within the script. <br>

+ 单颗粒实验（One-grain experiment）：我们对样品NCL-1821112制备的20个单颗粒圆盘进行了测试，每个圆盘装载一颗颗粒；该样品在测试前已在太阳模拟器中完成48小时的褪色处理。如需了解该样品的背景信息，请访问荷兰释光测年中心（Netherlands Centre for Luminescence dating, NCL）数据库，网址为：https://www.lumid.nl/。进入网站后切换至「项目」标签页，搜索NCL编码1821即可获取详情。如手稿表1所述的测量方案，针对增量孔径步进步骤重复执行了8次。

+ 阅读器对比实验（Reader comparison experiment）：我们为每台阅读器均测试了20个源自NCL-1821112的单颗粒圆盘，该样品在测试前已在太阳模拟器中完成48小时的褪色处理，以此对比两台设备的性能表现。

+ 测量方案与数据格式（Measurement protocols and data formats）：测量方案通过Riso的序列编辑软件编写。所有Riso软件均可从以下网址下载：https://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/radphys/research/radiation-instruments/tl_osl_reader/software。原始数据存储于Riso .binx格式文件中，可通过Riso的分析软件环境打开。电子倍增电荷耦合器件（EMCCD）生成的发光图像，需先在Riso Viewer+软件中完成分析，再开展后续进一步处理。

+ R语言处理与分析脚本（Processing and analysis scripts in R）：所有数据处理（包括修改、计算等）与数据分析工作均通过R语言完成，所有脚本均带有详细注释。每个实验对应编写一份独立的R脚本。

+ 图表与表格（Figures and tables）：所有图表与表格均通过R语言生成，具体详细信息可参阅对应R脚本中的注释内容。
