Details:
=====================
Attendees
will learn about issues affecting the quantitative accuracy
of fluorescence images acquired through a microscope and will pick up tips
and suggestions for improving image quality, making better use of the camera's
light collection abilities, and will learn the nomenclature associated with
digital imaging. Attendees will leave with a better
understanding of how to characterize and optimize their optical system,
camera, and software. Bring your questions to this live, interactive
web-based seminar.
-
What is bit depth and when/why does it matter?
-
What is dynamic range?
-
Characterizing your camera's linear range.
-
Noise and other sources of data uncertainty.
-
Maximizing your camera's light collection capabilities.
-
Setting the best exposures.
- Correcting
for photobleaching.
-
Collecting images in 3D.
