Details:
=====================
Stereomicroscopic observation of small organisms (such as drosophila and C.
elegans), electronic circuits, and micro-machined components often requires
the user to focus up and down through the z-axis to visualize the entire
object. At each focus position, some structure is in optimal focus while
structures above and below appear blurry. Although acquiring through-focus
image stacks with stereo microscopes is becoming more commonplace,
observing individual images makes it almost impossible to visualize and
understand the overall structure of the imaged object.

A powerful technique known as "Extended Depth of Field Processing" allows for
the automatic "collapsing" of a through-focus set of blurry images into a single
very high resolution image of the entire specimen. This allows elucidation of
structure that is not evident when observing individual planes and enables the
determination of relationships between them.

Attendees of this live, interactive webinar will see how various specimens can
be imaged, aligned, and processed.

Have an image set you'd like to see processed? Send a sequence of TIF
images (compressed into a ZIP file, please) to: [hidden email] and
we'll try to show it to you during the web seminar!

Bring your questions to this live, interactive web-based seminar.

Provided free of charge, this webinar is sponsored by MAG, the Microimaging
Applications Group. MAG is a group of imaging companies who work together
to provide an unparalleled range of microimaging solutions to science and
industry.
