• Optimiser les résultats de déconvolution avec Huygens (10 Octobre 2017) Ce webinaire vous offre un aperçu général du workflow d'imagerie pour la déconvolution, depuis l'acquisition d'image jusqu'à la procédure de déconvolution, afin d'optimiser vos résultats. Nous vous expliquerons la procédure de déconvolution Huygens en mettant l'accent sur le Parameter Editor et le Deconvolution Wizard.

• Optimizing colocalization studies with Huygens (26th September 2017) Colocalization studies provide an important insight on several biological processes, and Huygens can help you in getting the most accurate colocalization results. Huygens deconvolution improves resolution, contrast and signal to noise ratio, reducing the effect of Blur And Noise in Colocalization studies. Our Restoration Options also correct the images for the other aberrations, getting them ready for an accurate analysis. For what concerns the analysis, the Colocalization Analyzer works more at the level of the whole image, and the Object Analyzer also provides colocalization measurements at the object level.

• Optimizing deconvolution: focus on extremely low signal data (18th July 2017)Noise in microscopy images is surely one of the strongest limiting factors in the study of morphology and dynamics of the cells, and in proceeding in a reliable visualization and analysis of the structures of interest. Deconvolution offers a great help in reducing noise and still preserving the small details of the object. Very noisy images, with extremely low signal, can be optimally addresses by Huygens deconvolution. This webinar will guide you through the optimal methodologies to deconvolve extremely low signal data with Huygens.

• Come ottimizzare i risultati di deconvoluzione con Huygens (webinar in lingua italiana) (13 Luglio 2017) La deconvoluzione é un'operazione matematica che permette di migliorare la risoluzione, il contrasto ed il rapporto segnale/rumore in immagini di microscopia a trasmissione e fluorescenza. Sebbene la deconvoluzione sia un'operazione di post processing, i parametri di acquisizione dell'immagine possono influenzarne i risultati. Questo webinar spiegherá come ottimizzare i parametri di acquisizione e di successiva deconvoluzione con Huygens per ottenere risultati ottimali. Inoltre, verranno forniti alcuni esempi su come la deconvoluzione sia un ottimo metodo per ottenere risultati piú robusti per l'analisi di colocalizzazione, tracking ed analisi di oggetti. Infine, verranno illustrate le novitá del software come il Deconvolution Express per ottenere risultati con un singolo click del mouse, la veloce accelerazione GPU ed il modulo di deconvoluzione e fusione di immagini Light Sheet.
