  • Update the apparatus section of your report to reflect the changes you made in part 2.


  1. Fluorescence imaging and flat-field correction
    1. Procedure
      • Document the samples you used and how you captured images (camera settings, software used, etc…)
    2. Data
      • Include raw images of two sizes of beads, the stained cell sample, reference image(s), and dark image(s).
      • It may be clearer to show the reference image as a surface plot.
    3. Analysis and Results
      • Plot intensity profiles of the reference, dark, and raw images on a single set of axes. (Use the improfile command in MATLAB.)
      • Use the reference and dark images to correct the raw image for nonuniform illumination and include the corrected image.
      • Include histograms of the sample, reference, dark, and corrected images on a single plot of log(count) vs intensity.
      • Document the steps you used to process the image.
    4. Discussion
      • How did your beam expander design affect your images?
