FASER

FASER simulates excitation point spread functions (PSFs) in microscopes using a full-vectorial computational approach to model electromagnetic fields within the focal region, enabling precise predictions and detailed analyses for applications such as stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy.

Key Features:

• Full-vectorial computational approach: Simulates electromagnetic fields within the focal region for precise predictions and detailed analyses of excitation PSFs.
• Complex beam profile modeling: Supports the modeling of complex beam profiles, including donut and bottle-shaped beams used in advanced microscopy techniques.
• Parameter exploration: Enables exploration of the impacts of various geometrical and optical parameters on microscope performance.

Scientific Applications:

• STED microscopy simulation: Captures characteristic features of stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy through specific simulations.
• High-resolution imaging optimization: Supports researchers and students in exploring and optimizing high-resolution imaging techniques.
