Deconvolution has proven to be a powerful new tool for performing high-resolution multi-dimensional imaging of biological specimens.  It is used for increasing the sensitivity and improving the resolution of standard widefield microscopes and for improving the resolving capabilities of confocal systems.  Attendees of this live, no-cost webinar will learn about the latest technology for performing deconvolution on widefield (non-confocal) microscope images 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?
  • Discussion on empirical vs. derived point-spread functions
  • Uses in fluorescence microscopy
  • Difference from confocal imaging
  • Pro and cons- where deconvolution works and where it doesn't
  • Challenges and advice
  • A few before/after examples using Image Pro 3D Constructor

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.
