Huygens Software: Deconvolve, visualize, restore and analyze your microscope images

Huygen deconvolution software

The Huygens Software is named after Christiaan Huygens, who studied and described the diffraction of light waves. The Software includes many image processing options, for brightfield and all types of fluorescence microscopy images. With Huygens it is possible to perform image deconvolution and restoration, interactive analysis and volume visualization in 2D, 3D, multi-channel and time. Additional Server and GPU-based Options ensure maximization of hardware performance.

Different flavors: Tailored solutions for your needs

The Huygens software comes in different flavors: Essential, Professional, Core, Localizer, offering solutions for both single users and multi-user facilities. We also offer a Huygens web-based interface, Huygens Remote Manager, available for submitting deconvolution tasks via your internet browser to the compute engine Huygens Core. It is possible to get Huygens and additional options as a node-locked license, leased license or in a floating license configuration.

Cross platform support: Huygens on your OS

Their software is based on cross platform technology, which makes SVI one of the few software companies in the microscopy field that have their software available on all major platforms. All their applications have the same look and feel on all platforms, except where the differences are created by the window manager of the operating system that is being used.
