Deconvolution Microscopy Literature References
Deconvolution is a computational technique that is useful for improving the contrast and resolution of digital images gathered with fluorescence microscopy. The methodology includes numerous applications designed to remove or reverse the blurring present in microscopy images caused by the limited aperture of the microscope objective. Virtually any digital image captured with a widefield or confocal microscope can be improved by deconvolution, and new techniques that apply to transmitted light images are rapidly emerging. In particular, three-dimensional stacks are the ideal candidates for deconvolution.
