Microscopy: Cameras and Detectors I: How Do They Work? (Nico Stuurman)

Learn more: www.ibiology.org/talks/photos...
Photosensitive detectors are used in microscopy to generate digital images. This lecture introduces the two main classes of detectors: single-point (Photo-multipliers and Photo-diodes) and multi-point detectors (cameras) and explains their basic principles.

Great explanation professor

[@pllorenss]

I am studying the shift from CCD to CMOS in aerial survey cameras (main requirement: several hundred MPix resolution). You explain clearly in less than three minutes what has taken me several days of reading to understand. Thanks Nico!!

[@sriharisha251]

U are one amazing person when it comes to explaining. Thank you for everything man

[@subha9037]

This is so well explained, really helped me understand the concept, thank you

[@blanca4287]

Wonderfully explained!

[@ornestebuitkute9720]

This is really nice, thank you! I am working with CMOS at the moment and it is hard to understand this in theory, so complementary videos really helps to visualise this better!

Must see.Also just for a refresh.Thank you!

[@robert-dr8569]

Excellent lecture! Thank you.

[@jaychiang1688]

Very informative! The video is old but not outdated.

[@brendaaguirre2937]

This is a great lecture. Thank you so much!

[@sa-dd9bu]

wonderful explanation!

[@nabarcheto7950]

Thank you ever so much! This is exactly what I wanted to learn!

[@thangarasuappavoo3999]

Great analogy simple and effective

[@irisobobo]

Nice overview! Thanks!

[@harvdaguy]

So inspiring!

hi, what is the corelation between image gray level and screen gray level?
what is the threshlod and saturation? how do you explain it changed when you change brrightness and contrast parameters.
thanks

[@romiho8863]

Thank you for your kind explanation.
I have a question regarding pixel.
Does one pixel include 1 red, 1 blue and 2 green color?
Or
Does 1 pixel include only 1 color?
For example 1 red is 1 pixel, 1 blue is 1 pixel and 2 green are 2 pixel.
Thank you for your response.

great talk! A minor comment @ 6:11 "Measure single photon hits*" not electron

[@lokeshranjanjha1796]

I guess it should be "electron". Because of low quantum efficiency, PMT is not supposed to measure a single photon hit.
