For example in an image you take from a farm, the brightnest pixel (the sky)
cannot be more than 255 times the faintest/darkest shadow in the image (because
normal cameras produce unsigned 8 bit integers; containing @mymath{2^8=256}
levels; see @ref{Numeric data types}).
However, astronomical sources span a much wider dynamic range such that their
central parts can be tens of millions of times brighter than their larger outer
regions.

Do you see how the different regions (SB intervals) have been coloured
differently?
They come from the SB levels we defined, and because it is using absolute
thresholds in physical units of surface brightness, the visualization is not
only a nicelooking color image, but can be used in scientific analysis.
