Abstract
A laser scanning microscope includes a scanner that scans a sample with laser light; a detector having a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM); and a processor that executes image processing of removing dark count noise based on an appearance frequency of the dark count noise in the SiPM on a scanned image.
Claims20
A laser scanning microscope comprising:
- a scanner that scans a sample with laser light;
- a detector having a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM);
- and
- a processor that executes image processing of removing dark count noise based on an appearance frequency of the dark count noise in the SiPM on a scanned image that is obtained by scanning the sample by the scanner and is generated based on a signal output from the detector.
1 more element
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor, wherein
- the processor executes image processing of removing dark count noise based on an appearance frequency of the dark count noise in a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) included in a laser scanning microscope on a scanned image that is obtained by scanning a sample by a scanner in the laser scanning microscope and is generated based on a signal output from a detector having the SiPM.
A method of operating a laser scanning microscope, comprising:
- generating a scanned image that is obtained by scanning a sample by a scanner included in the laser scanning microscope based on a signal output from a detector having a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) included in the laser scanning microscope;
- and
- executing image processing of removing dark count noise based on an appearance frequency of the dark count noise in the SiPM on the scanned image.
