How should I interpret the Quality factor?
Should the Quality factor reach the same value for all deconvolution tasks?
The absolute value of the final Quality factor much depends on the data, the microscope type, and the background. It is a global value computed over the entire image, so the contribution of a local resolution increase can be small.
For example, suppose you have a large featureless image with one tiny object. While the tiny object may be restored very well, the change in the featureless part is negligible. The quality factor will therefore hardly change, though the restoration is successful.
As a rule widefield images show a much higher quality increase than for example confocal images.
