Fluorescence microscopy is a major tool used in monitoring cell physiology. The most key feature of fluorescence microscopy is the ability to illuminate fluorescent objects, which can be extremely faint and hard to detect otherwise, against a dark background. To optimize fluorescence, image brightness
