I noticed in your chapter on noise, in the section where you are describing your important noise facts, that your formula for adding the standard deviations from two random variables has a typo, I think. Each standard deviation needs to be squared before adding - add the variances and then take the square root to calculate the sigma for the sum of two random variables.

You have this: $\sqrt{\sigma_1 + \sigma_2}$
should be this: $\sqrt{\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2}$

Brilliant book! Thank you for your hard work to make these topics accessible to biologists

@petebankhead hello and thanks to share your knowledge!
I have some troubles with dependendences, is it possible to check it?

Hi,
This is not an issue but a question. How do I control the layout for the PDF version of the book? I am asking this because I want to write a book myself.
Thank you!

Best regards,
Patrick

Hey @petebankhead! 👋

Really enjoyed reading basically all of the Python sections of the book this morning! I honestly might pass this along to others that are interested in general image handling and not just microscopy image handling. It's a great Python intro to images in general!

On the file formats and dimensions and metadata section, I think you were having issues with installing aicsimageio on Apple Silicon; I am wondering when the last time you tried installing was because a couple of recent patches should have ironed out a lot of the issues with installing.

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir aicsimageio should be a good check?

If there are still issues please let me know. Would love to get it working for you!

Thanks again

Hi Pete @petebankhead .,

just a minor headsup regarding licensing. I see the book has a CC BY 4.0 tag, but it is missing a LICENSE file. If it had that, the github repository would show the license correctly. Similarly, the footer of the book could show the license correctly as done here. At the moment it looks like this:

If you think this makes sense, I'm happy to prepare a PR for you.

Thanks for maintaining this amazing resource btw!

Best,
Robert
