Image Fusion Technique Improves Image Processing and Damage Threshold of Dark-Field Microscopy

A pre-proof study from Optics Communications introduces a microscopic image fusion technique to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, the dynamic range, and the root-mean-square contrast of dark-field confocal microscopy imaging. This method generates high-quality images with uniform brightness and improves the damage threshold of optical systems.
