S. Miyasaka and S. Komatsu: Restoration of Three Dimensional Microscopic Images by Estimating the Point Spread Function with 3-D Blind Deconcolution Algorithm, Jpn. J Opt. (KOGAKU), Vol. 27 (1998) 539-543.

Microscopic images contain not only focused image of the corresponding layer of a three-dimensonal object but also out-of-focus images of the neighbouring layers of the object. We expand the two-dimensional Fourier iterative blind-deconvolution algorithm into three-dimensional version and apply it to the reconstruction of three-dimensional microscopic images. The feasibility of the present method is verified in computer simulation.
