Abstract
Learn the basics of digital cameras for microscopy in this ZEISS interactive webinar. As a follow-up to our Introduction to the Basics of Optical Microscopy, this webinar aims to explain the basic principles of how to choose a digital camera for your light microscopy application. From photons to pixels, this webinar will explain the different kinds of sensor technologies that are widely available for digital cameras and will provide practical strategies to optimize the signal to noise through conceptual explanations of topics such as noise, resolution, and framerate.
