    Amount of light needed to capture images

    Hi all, I'm working in application where a camera needs to see in a dark closed area. Imagine a small box, say 8"x8" and there is a camera trying to record inside. In order to get images, we need some light. The problem is how to determine how much light is needed without being too little...

    LaTeX Improving Latex Image Quality: Can Anti-Aliasing and Text Size Increase Help?

    Hi! Is there possible to improve the quality of the images generated by latex code? It should be good if anti aliasing could be turned on, which would produce smooth and fine images. Now, the text looks a little bit awkward in my opinion, since it it all edged, and the small text is hard to read.

    Real Images and Thin Lenses: Can You Explain the Postulation?
