Abstract

A light microscope and a method for capturing images with a light microscope includes guiding illumination light to a sample; guiding detection light from the sample to a plurality of photon-counting sensor elements, which each successively capture a plurality of photon counts; forming a plurality of photon count distributions to be analyzed and at least one reference photon count distribution from the photon counts; calculating a similarity between each photon count distribution to be analyzed and the reference photon count distribution; and identifying sensor elements as overdriven as a function of the calculated similarity of the corresponding photon count distribution(s) to be analyzed.
