The optical axis lays along z. Your Nyquist sampling is:

x: nm
y: nm
z: nm
Set your zooms and scanning steps so that each pixel covers a x-y area of nm × nm (or smaller)
Calibrate and set your z-stepper so that it takes steps of nm when acquiring a 3D stack (or smaller)

PSF: XY MIP grayscale
xy MIP grayscale
PSF: XY MIP false color
xy MIP false color

PSF: XZ MIP grayscale
xz MIP grayscale
PSF: XZ MIP false color
xz MIP false color

These are xy and xz MIP projections of the 3D point spread function.
The 3D image dimensions (x × y × z) are × × µm.
It was calculated using the Nyquist sample sizes specified above.
The number of samples (x × y × z) to cover this volume at the Nyquist rate is × × .
To enhance dimmer regions the gamma is corrected by 1.7 in the false color image.
For Array Detectors a PSF of the center detector is shown.
For Airyscan Fast Mode, a combined PSF is shown.
