Abstract
As a follow-up to our Introduction to the Basics of Digital Cameras, this webinar aims to explain the basic principles of how to choose a digital camera for your light microscopy application. Additionally, more sophisticated knowledge about camera performance determining properties like sources of noise, quantum efficiency, full well capacity, sensor size, resolution and frame rate is provided. The webinar focuses on linking technical knowledge to applicative benefits allowing you to develop a better understanding how to choose the optimal camera and selecting ideal settings for your application.
Key Learnings:
- physical principles affecting camera performance
- sensor architecture and camera electronics
- how to select the ideal camera for an application
