Microscope health

Here you can find all information about the latest quality control measurements.

Each report contains the following measurements:

• Laser power
  Laser power is measured out of an objective to give the most realistic excitation power on your sample. Especially if you want to measure fluorescent intensities it is important to keep an eye on the actual laser power to be able to draw meaningful conclusions between repetitions.
  
• Point spread function (PSF) information
  The PSF characterizes the spatial resolution and imaging performance of the microscope. It determines how fine details appear in an image and plays a central role in image formation models, deconvolution techniques, and quantitative analysis in fluorescence and confocal microscopy.
  
• Co-Registration
  
• Position accuracy
