Statistical connection of binomial photon counting and photon averaging in high dynamic range beam-scanning microscopy

Data from photomultiplier tubes are typically analyzed using either counting or averaging techniques, which are most accurate in the dim and bright signal limits, respectively. A statistical means of adjoining these two techniques is presented by recovering the Poisson parameter from averaged data a...
