Point Spread Function calculations for fluorescence microscopy
==============================================================

Psf is a Python library to calculate Point Spread Functions (PSF) for
fluorescence microscopy.

The psf library is no longer actively developed.

:Author: `Christoph Gohlke `_
:License: BSD 3-Clause
:Version: 2025.1.1

Quickstart
----------

Install the psf package and all dependencies from the
`Python Package Index `_::

python -m pip install -U "psf[all]"

See `Examples`_ for using the programming interface.

Source code and support are available on
`GitHub `_.
