The quality of image recordings in research and industry depends significantly on the realness and accuracy of the depiction of reality that a given image sensor records. A number of key figures characterize this criterion of quality. Resolution and light sensitivity are often at the center of attention. Wrongly, less attention is usually paid to quantum efficiency since it happens to be the perfect parameter for describing the sensitivity of image sensors.
