In this application note, we use a modified version of the Blob Detection tutorial. This code disables the LED from blinking, that is required to ensure that all photons are related to muon activity. Change area_threshold=255 to pixel_threshold=1 and merge blobs. [[Explain Why we do this and what the code does]]

**1.** Connect Portenta Vision Shield to Portenta H7. Use a USB-C cable to connect to a PC.

- Increase the duration of data collection. A time of at least 24 hours is recommended. A longer time, results in more accurate results.

- Make sure that the Blob example is alterated as instructed

Add a conclusion to what this tutorial has gone through. Connect back to what you wrote in the "Goals" section.
78+
In this tutorial you learnt how to measure muons with the Portenta Vision Shield. You can take this a step further, and explore how muon showers change over time. Or, set up multiple devices which connect to the Arduino IoT Cloud and see how particle counts vary over time and position.
