Abstract
A scanning microscope includes: a photodetector that detects light from a sample; a sampling circuit that samples an output signal of the photodetector; and a processor. The processor performs an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data sampled by the sampling circuit, determines whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal, and generates pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination.
Claims13
A scanning microscope comprising:
- a photodetector that detects light from a sample;
- a sampling circuit that samples an output signal of the photodetector;
- and
- a hardware processor that:
- performs an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data sampled by the sampling circuit,
- determines whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal, and
- generates pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination,
- wherein:
- the processor determines the result of the operation as the noise when the result of the operation is less than a threshold, and determines the result of the operation as the signal when the result of the operation is the threshold or more, and
- the processor invalidates the result of the operation determined as the noise, validates the result of the operation determined as the signal, and generates the pixel data.
A pixel generation method for causing a computer to execute processing comprising:
- performing an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data obtained by sampling an output signal of a photodetector;
- determining whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal;
- and
- generating pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination,
- wherein:
- the determining determines the result of the operation as the noise when the result of the operation is less than a threshold, and determines the result of the operation as the signal when the result of the operation is the threshold or more, and
- the generating comprises invalidating the result of the operation determined as the noise, validating the result of the operation determined as the signal, and generating the pixel data.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable to cause a computer to execute processing comprising:
- performing an operation including at least integration on a plurality of items of sampling data obtained by sampling an output signal of a photodetector;
- determining whether a result of the operation is noise or a signal;
- and
- generating pixel data based on a result of the operation and a result of the determination,
- wherein:
- the determining determines the result of the operation as the noise when the result of the operation is less than a threshold, and determines the result of the operation as the signal when the result of the operation is the threshold or more, and
- the generating comprises invalidating the result of the operation determined as the noise, validating the result of the operation determined as the signal, and generating the pixel data.
