Comparison of the RADMC-3D images between cases with chopping by 2° and without chopping for 3 · 10¹⁰ scattering photons (top row) and 10⁸ scattering photons (bottom row). These models are calculated at the wavelength λ = 0.8 μm. The right column shows the relative error in percent. Here, we ignored intensity values of the images that are smaller than 10⁻¹⁷ in order to avoid artifacts.
