Table 1 Comparison of CNR values of images in Fig. 4 that were imaged and simulated with time constant (TC) and filter order (n) settings obtained from optimal setting simulations
From: Stimulated Raman scattering simulation for imaging optimization
CNR values | single 1 μm object; TC = 1.6 μs; n = 8 | single 20 μm object; TC = 26.5 μs; n = 8 | dense sample 2 μm; TC = 1.8 μs; n = 8 | dense sample 20 μm; TC = 18.7 μs; n = 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Imaged: | 9.3 | 20.7 | 9.0 | 6.3 |
Simulated: | 7.3 | 25.4 | 8.1 | 5.4 |
