Why can't a PSF be computed for a 'Generic Sensor' image?
Each image has a microscope type associated to the microscope (sensor) with which it was taken. Currently confocal, spinning disc, widefield, multiple photon, 4 PI and STED images are supported by Huygens. By default Huygens does not know the sensor type and assigns "Generic". However, the method for generating a PSF is different for each of the microscope types. There is no particular method to generate PSFs for generic (unknown) microscope types.
To assign a microscope type to the image:
- select the image
- choose "Edit Parameters" or press Alt-P
- change the field "Microscope Type" from "Generic" to the correct microscope type
- save the changes.
A PSF can now be generated based on the image.
