When film cameras were replaced with electronic cameras, the sensor size became smaller. As a consequence, a smaller field of view resulted. Large digital image sensors found in SLR cameras have become less expensive and adapting these cameras to micrography has become attractive. However, with larger sensors and fields of view, brightness non-uniformities are becoming apparent.
