Dea all,
Does anyone know of software that selects only in focus portions of an image
and discards the out-of-focus parts.  We need to get clear views of a curved
surface (the fly eye) with a 10x objective using reflected light.  Only thin
optical slices are in focus at this mag, but if we could put together the
portions that are in focus over the entire depth of the specimen, we could
rebuild a clean image of the structure.  This wouild be a used in an assay
screening a bizillion flies, so SEM is not really practical.
thanks,
Carl
