Towards single photon detection with a practical EMCCD

The stochastic transfer function (STF) is a metric for imaging of a microscope that includes the idea of noise, this project attempted to obtain the STF by Monte Carlo method with photon counting device. In this project, a very sensitive Electron-multiplying CCD (EMCCD) camera is evaluated for its p...
