This lecture explores the importance of choosing a proper feature size for image analysis in life sciences, discussing how to adapt pixel size based on object size and image processing questions. It covers a wide range of sizes, from atoms to proteins and organelles, and explains the limits of object detection in light microscopy. The instructor presents a Rule Of Thumb for defining object size in pixels and demonstrates the impact of pixel size on image quality. The lecture also touches on super resolution imaging techniques that push beyond the limitations of standard microscopic techniques.
