PSF Generator is a software package that allows one to generate and visualize various 3D models of a microscope PSF. The current version has more than fifteen different models.

3D diffractive models: scalar-based diffraction model Born & Wolf, scalar-based diffraction model with 3 layers Gibson & Lanni, and vectorial-based model Richards & Wolf, and Variable Refractive Index Gibson & Lanni model.

Defocussing a 2D lateral function with 1D axial function: the available lateral functions are: "Gaussian", "Lorentz", "Cardinale-Sine", "Cosine", "Circular-Pupil", "Astigmatism", "Oriented-Gaussian", "Double-Helix".

Optical Transfer Function generated in the Fourier domain: Koehler simulation, defocus simulation.

This tool compute measures on the ROIs of the chosen sequence, updates the measures live when ROIs are changed and allows to copy/paste the measures to 3rd-party sheet edition softwares. Measures include geometric (bounding box) and intensity information.

It can complement the default ICY built inROI table, where measurements such as volume meausirements, intensity measurements, ... are built in and can be exported as excel as well.

The plugin performs stitching of images of a tiled scan to reconstruct the image of the whole sample.
