## Software Description

The Huygens System is an image processing software package specifically
designed to facilitate the restoration of microscopic images. It
provides many arithmetic operations on image types ranging from simple
2D images of unsigned bytes to multi-parameter, 3D time series of
complex values. This functionality forms the basis for the more advanced
features of the Huygens System aimed at image restoration, i.e., the
\`reconstruction\' of the object that gave rise to the actual recorded
image.The Huygens System shows these images in a transparent way and
allows inspection, processing and restoration in a straightforward
manner. The Huygens System- Batch version is a compute engine; it does
not display any images.
## General Linux

To run this software in a Linux environment run the commands (for
interactive use of huygens, if less memory is needed then it may be
specified on the command line):

	ssh -X agate
	srun -p msismall --nodes=1 --ntasks=20 --mem=200gb --time=1:00:00 --x11 --pty bash
	module load huygens
	huygenspro

To run a huygens script named, \'script.tcl\', type:

	huscript -noTk scriptfile.tcl
