Deconvolution of Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy Images
Deconvolution has proven to be a powerful new tool for performing high-resolution multi-dimensional imaging of biological specimens.  Used properly, deconvolution can dramatically increase the resolving capabilities and sensitivity of confocal and widefield systems.  With an emphasis on use as an adjunct to confocal techniques, attendees of this live, no-cost webinar will learn about the latest technology for performing deconvolution and understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of several popular algorithms.

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

• What is deconvolution and how does it work?
• When and why to use it as an adjunct to confocal techniques
• Discussion on empirical vs. derived point-spread functions
• Uses in fluorescence microscopy
• Difference from widefield imaging with/without deconvolution
• Challenges and advice
• A few before/after examples using Image-Pro's 3D Constructor

About the Presenter:
Brian Northan is an AutoQuant Software Engineer with Media Cybernetics. He has a Masters Degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. His thesis focused on wavelet and neural network approaches to image compression. Brian has spent 6+ years working on AutoQuant software, with extensive experience applying MLE (maximum likelihood estimation) to biomedical imaging problems including 3D blind deconvolution for light microscopy.
