Or about the Leica Thunder? It would be good to know what they do to judge the risk for artefacts.

Mike,
Are you talking about deconvolving widefield fluorescence stacks?

Hi.
There are software solutions that are able to create image data from wide-field and even microscope systems with seemingly similar quality to that obtained from confocal systems.

The comparison of acquisition vs. software is essentially a comparison of image acquisition vs. image processing. While a software solution is way cheaper than a hardware solution if it is able to produce image data with equal quality why would anyone choose to invest to a confocal anymore?

I’m looking forward to a vidid discussion!
