Becker, K., & Saghafi, S. (2024, June 29). NeuroDeblur: A novel software for fast deconvolution of large light-sheet, confocal, or bright-field microscopy stacks [Poster Presentation]. FENS 2024, Vienna, Austria.
We developed a novel deconvolution software (NeuroDeblur), which significantly enhances the visibility of minute details, such as neurons
or nerve fibres, in large image stacks captured by light-sheet, confocal, or bright-field microscopy. NeuroDeblur employs synthetic point spread functions
tailored to each of these imaging modalities by utilizing a sophisticated optical model of the imaging procesess. Experimental point spread functions
derived from recordings of fluorescent beads can be used additionally. The software features a sophisticated adaptive background removal algorithm and
automatic block-wise processing of large data sets, enabling the handling of very large image stacks (>100 GB) even on modest computers equipped with 8
or 16 GB RAM. Through extensive parallelization and optional GPU acceleration, NeuroDeblur achieves high-speed performance. For instance, on a PC
equipped with a state-of-the-art NVidia graphics board, a 3D-stack comprising approximately 1 billion voxels can be deconvolved within 5-10 minutes.
