... mean5
The data for the Mean vs. Variance plot is different from the original histogram plots. Here I turned up the LED intensity so that the mean becomes larger more quickly as I decreased the rate between each measurement. This better shows the divergence of the variance away from the mean vs. mean line as we increase the number of counts we are receiving.
