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.
