Haze Reduction Function
Similar to deconvolution, this function eliminates fluorescent blurring, enabling visualization of weak fluorescent signals with sharp contrast and clarity
Quickly eliminates an out-of-focus image (fluorescence blurring) on the objective lens, greatly improving contrast and clarity.The “Real-Time Haze Reduction” function for quickly eliminating fluorescence blurring is also provided on the preview screen.

| This image was taken using a conventional fluorescence microscope. The target fluorescence signals cannot be recognized clearly due to fluorescence blurring. |
The haze reduction function removes the light diffused on the unfocused surface (blurring). This allows accurate recognition of the location of the fluorescence signals. |
