Digital imaging basics for optical microscopy
In this SelectScience webinar, we present the basics of microscopy imaging with a digital camera to educate users on how to improve both their image and data quality.
Imaging expert Takeo Ogama, Olympus Corporation of the Americas, will cover the link between the biology and observed digital image data, the factor effects on signal intensity, causes of background noise and how to minimize them, trade-off factors that make an impact on image and data quality, and best practices for image acquisition. These are the basics for widefield fluorescence imaging but could be leveraged for any biological experiment that uses a microscope and digital image acquisition.
