recOrder

PyPI - Python Version Python package index download statistics Python package index Development Status

recOrder is a collection of computational imaging methods. It currently provides QLIPP (quantitative label-free imaging with phase and polarization), phase from defocus, and fluorescence deconvolution.

Unveiling the invisible

Acquisition, calibration, background correction, reconstruction, and applications of QLIPP are described in the following E-Life Paper:

These are the kinds of data you can acquire with recOrder and QLIPP:

What do I need to use recOrder

recOrder is to be used alongside a conventional widefield microscope. For QLIPP, the microscope must be fitted with an analyzer and a universal polarizer:

For phase-from-defocus or fluorescence deconvolution methods, the universal polarizer is optional.

The overall structure of recOrder is shown in Panel B, highlighting the structure of the graphical user interface (GUI) through a napari plugin and the command-line interface (CLI) that allows users to perform reconstructions.

Flow Chart

Software Quick Start

(Optional but recommended) install anaconda and create a virtual environment:

conda create -y -n recOrder python=3.9
conda activate recOrder

Install recOrder-napari:

pip install recOrder-napari

Open napari with recOrder-napari:

napari -w recOrder-napari

For more help, see recOrder's documentation. To install recOrder on a microscope, see the microscope installation guide.

Dataset

Slides and a dataset shared during a workshop on QLIPP and recOrder can be found on Zenodo, and the napari plugin's sample contributions (File > Open Sample > recOrder-napari in napari).
