Deep Focus - Focus Stacking Module for QuickPHOTO

Deep Focus is an extension software module for QuickPHOTO programs. It is designed for creating completely in-focus images, which due to a limited depth of field of optical microscopes cannot be acquired in a standard way. Completely in-focus images are composed from stacks of images with varying focal plane (partially focused images). Only the well-focused areas are used from each image and the resulting image is composed from them. This technique is called Extended Depth of Field imaging (EDF), z-stacking or focus stacking. The process can be automated using motorized stands or additional focus drives provided by PROMICRA and other manufacturers.
