™Huygens Multi-Photon Deconvolution Software
Specially designed for deconvolving images for which multiphoton excitation was used
Huygens Deconvolved
Huygens Multi-Photon Microscopy image deconvolution takes the multiple excitation photons into account, which are simultaneously absorbed by a fluorophore in a fluorescence event. This essential feature in Huygens combined with its state-of-the-art spherical abberation correction, guarantees high image quality and resolution - even of very thick samples.
Image description

Testimonials
So far Huygens seems to surpass our other products at least for deconvolution and also surface rendering, and most of all, the technical support that you have provided is truly tremendous.

Both my facility users and I are very impressed with the new (and not so new) features, and some of my new users are really enjoying the object analyzer and the ROI options!

Multi-photon microscopy does limited damage to the sample and is therefore often used for imaging live tissues. Unwanted movements can be corrected for with the Huygens Object Stabilizer while movements of interest can be tracked with the Huygens Object Tracker.Object Stabilizer Object Tracker

SHG signal of the rat soleous muscle's myosin imaged with a Leica two-photon microscope (NA: 1, 20x). Stack has been deconvolved with Huygens using a measured PSF, and visualized with the Huygens SFP Renderer. High quality imaging together with Huygens allows you to see through the muscle's A bands from one side to the other. The stack dimensions is 105x105x87 μm.

Autofluorescence from pollen grains was captured with Zeiss 710 NLO multiphoton microscope in three channels using 850nm laser excitation. Two channels (blue and magenta) show two-photon autofluorescence in different spectral ranges, the third channel (green) shows second harmonic generation from starch particles inside the pollen grain. The acquired 3D dataset was deconvolved and maximum intensity projection image was rendered with Huygens.

Erythrocytes that mark the developing vasculature in a mouse embryo (E14.5). This 8x11x2mm specimen was imaged on a multiphoton microscope excited at 790nm using a 25x 1.0NA Objective. Subsequently, the image was stitched, deconvolved with Huygens Professional using a measured PSF, and visualised with depth-coded colouring using the Huygens MIP renderer (version 19.10).
