PointParticle#

class deeptrack.scatterers.PointParticle(**kwargs)#

Generates a point particle

A point particle is approximated by the size of a pixel. For subpixel positioning, the position is interpolated linearly.

Parameters#

position: array_like of length 2 or 3: The position of the particle. Third index is optional, and represents the position in the direction normal to the camera plane.
z: float: The position in the direction normal to the camera plane. Used if position is of length 2.
value: float: A default value of the characteristic of the particle. Used by optics unless a more direct property is set: (eg. refractive_index for Brightfield and intensity for Fluorescence).
