Deep Focus 3.0 module

Deep Focus 3.0 module is an additional software module for QuickPHOTO programs that creates images with depth of field much higher than is the depth of field of optical microscopes. It can be used with stereo microscopes as well as with other types of optical microscopes for observation in trasmitted or reflected light. Deep Focus 3.0 module is compatible with QuickPHOTO CAMERA 2.2, MICRO 2.2 and Industrial 2.2. Deep Focus in version 3.0 uses new improved faster algorithm which produces composed images of excellent quality.




Comparison of a standard and composed image

News in Deep Focus 3.0:

  • much better quality of composed images in comparison with the former versions
  • automatic compensation of scale changes
  • automatic correction of undesirable background artefacts
  • average increase of composing speed about 30%
  • the possibility to automatically sharpen the composed images

Functions overview:

  • universality - the module can be used with:
    • stereo microscopes
    • light microscopes for observation in transmitted light
    • light microscopes for observation in reflected light
  • easy to use and user friendly grafical interface
  • possibility to compose images opened in QuickPHOTO program as well as images stored on a hard drive
  • works with images with ultra-high resolution - e.g. images from OLYMPUS DP71 camera (12 megapixels)
  • compatibility with QuickPHOTO CAMERA 2.2/2.3, MICRO 2.2/2.3 and Industrial 2.2/2.3 programs

Principle of function:

First the "slices" - images with different plane of focus are captured. Every image contains different parts of a specimen well focused. While capturing images from a stere microscope the specimen shifts in the field of view and a scale may change slightly.

Wasp - slice 1 Wasp - slice 2
Wasp - slice 3 Wasp - slice 4

Only the well focused area is used from each of the "slices" by the Deep Focus 3.0 module. The resulting completelly focused image is composed from these well focused areas. Possible shift of a specimen in the field of camera view and small changes of a scale are compensated automatically.


Try the Deep Focus 3.0 module for free

We offer you a free of charge possibility to try the Deep Focus 3.0 module on your specimens. All you need to do is to capture the serie of "slices" of your specimen and send it to us. We will send you back the image composed by the Deep Focus 3.0 module. You can send us the serie by e-mail to support@promicra.com address or if it will not fit in an e-mail you can use some file sharing service e.g. www.filefactory.com and send us the download link to the same e-mail address. You can find the tips and recommendations how to capture a serie here.
