I would like to thank everyone who replied to the Deconvolution Algorithm questions. Once I Get back to the lab on Monday we  will start comparing the suggested algorithms. Thanks Brian for your comments as well, the commercial product we are comparing against is the Autoquant module in the Nikon NIS elements software.

 

 I do have a question for all of you regarding calculating the point spread function.  For some of the open source algorithms we are using we have to input the PSF in the deconvolution algorithm.  For this we using a an open source software which calculates theoretical PSF after you input imaging parameters such as, magnification, NA etc. but this software does not have Laser Scanning Confocal microscopy as an imaging modality option, it only has wide field fluorescence. Is there a formula for theoretically  calculating PSF in which you can input  the Confocal pin hole as a parameter, or would it be easier to determine the PSF experimentally using fluorescent beads?

 

Best Regards,

 

Neeraj.
