> In mathematics, deconvolution is an algorithm-based process used to reverse the effects of convolution on recorded data. The concept of deconvolution is widely used in the techniques of signal processing and image processing [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconvolution | [wikipedia]]].

> The point spread function (PSF) describes the response of an imaging system to a point source or point object [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function | [wikipedia]]].

= Requirements =
Please consult the detailed [[ https://c4science.ch/w/bioimaging_and_optics_platform_biop/teaching/good_practices/ | Good Practices ]] page or read the few notes below.
== Pixel size ==
(NOTE) An Optimal deconvolution requires a good sampling, please use this [[ https://svi.nl/NyquistCalculator | calculator]] to match your acquisition settings to the deconvolution requirements.
(WARNING) If the values are really too small for your sample (ie you observe bleaching during the acquisition), you could increase the size of the pixel by a factor of 2 in xy (without loosing too much deconvolution benefit).
== Noise ==
(NOTE) Do not worry too much about noise. Deconvolution is a noise removal technique !
== 2D or 3D ==
(NOTE) Deconvolution is extremely powerfull in 3D but in 2D you will mostly take adavantage of the denoising effect but not necessarily of the increase in resolution that deconvolution can offer.
(IMPORTANT) add explanatory image ?
== 3D : z-stack ==
=== Step size ===
Please use this [[ https://svi.nl/NyquistCalculator | calculator]] to match your acquisition settings to the deconvolution requirements.
You better compromise a bit the xy pixel size rather than the z-step.
=== Range ===
Deconvolution could generate border artefacts, so you should acquire:
- from Black to Black
or
- plan to CROP a couple of slices at the top and bottom of your stack
== Bleach ==
(IMPORTANT) TBD
== Confocal case optical slice matching==
(IMPORTANT) TBD
