PyCalibrate

PyCalibrate enables fully automated analysis of point spread functions from 3D images of PSFcheck fluorescent features or sub-resolution fluorescent beads. No more manual entry of imaging parameters - PyCalibrate uses the image metadata to obtain these for you. PyCalibrate uses BioFormats, so any file type that can be read by BioFormats can be read by PyCalibrate. 

PyCalibrate is free to use and can be accessed via this link. The pages include a short guide and introductory video. An example of the report provided by PyCalibrate is shown below.
