Fluorescence-based assays depend on detecting photons. Common to such assays is the notion of the ‘good’ photon, which carries useful assay information, and the ‘bad’ photon, which carries noise, background, or other information that imperils the assay. A robust assay can succeed despite some level of these ‘bad’ photons, but a more sensitive or difficult one might need a much higher ratio of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ photons to ensure success.
