The Fusion software for controlling the Dragonfly confocal microscope is now extended with a dedicated ClearView-GPU deconvolution module. As the name implies, the algorithms run preferentially on the workstation's graphics card unit (GPU), allowing for high processing speeds and near real-time deconvolution. With this, Andor introduces the concept of deconvolution as an everyday affair to get better quality data from the microscope.
Key features of the Andor ClearView-GPU™ deconvolution module
- Algorithms accelerated by parallelization on the graphics card - Richardson-Lucy, Jansson-Van Cittert, and Inverse Filtering
- Gibson-Lanni algorithms for accurate estimation of the PSF dispersion function, with correction for spherical aberrations when imaging bulky samples
- Maximum speed through optimization for CUDA programming language on the graphics card
- Quantitative data preserved, photon content before and after deconvolution unchanged
- Better contrast even when capturing very bulky samples
- Real-time parameter optimization possible on a smaller piece of data - preview.
- Combination with scanning setup for "real-time" deconvolution or working on stored data.
