Researchers from the Center for Cancer Research, NCI, Bethesda, have developed a method to produce and correlate three dimensional image volumes of mammalian cells imaged by fluorescence and electron microscopy...

In this article, Part 3 of a four part series, the noise sources for CCD, EMCCD, and scientific grade CMOS cameras are introduced and their impact on measurements described. The major noise sources are combined with signals calculated from a microscope/sample system to generate signal-to-noise ratios. To compare sensor performance, these ratios are plotted as a function of increasing exposure time, a commonly adjusted user parameter, for the three sensor types at the same pixel size and also with different pixel sizes characteristic of each sensor

This article, Part 2 in a four part series, develops a methodology for understanding the balance between imaging and radiometric properties in microscopy systems where digital sensors (CCD, EMCCD, and scientific-grade CMOS) are utilized. The methodology demonstrates why smaller pixel cameras provide better sampling at low magnifications and why these cameras are less efficient at collecting light than medium and larger pixel cameras. The article also explores how different optical configurations can improve light throughput while maintaining adequate sampling with smaller pixel cameras.
