Hi,
I second that. If your OTF only has modulus information, but misses phase
information, it will not give enough info about the most important
aberrations in cell microscopy,
that are caused by index mismatches in the environment and the cell and
residual lense aberrations. Modulus errors (apodisation) instead only have
a slight effect on the results
and are usually small, if they become large, phase effects will be "active"
too!
However, I looked around a bit on the net about that Deltavision software
but could not find too much details. How does it derive that OTF? Only by
theoretical grounds?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Thorsten,
just a short note on your issue.
First I assume that you deal with 2D-deconvolution (image
enhancement/sharpening) and not with depth reconstruction (3D).
OTF: optical transfer function
PSF: point spread function
In fact the OTF is related to the PSF, but the latter is commonly not
fully determined by the former. Commonly published OTFs represent
(grosso modo) the modulus of the Fourier-transform of the PSF. In
general however the complete transfer function is complex-valued
(modulus and phase) and therefore the OTF doesn't provide enough
information.
As the name suggests, the PSF is the response of your optical system
to a point in the object plane, i.e. the image of the point. You may
experimentally approximate an ideal point by a tiny small object,
i.e. a colour bead or the like. Depending on your optics and
especially your illumination (coherent, partially coherent,
incoherent) the image of a point-like object may actually show
negative values that can't be recognized as such in the detected
image and must indirectly be reconstructed.
If the phase component of the transfer function is negligible, then
you may Fourier-transform the OTF in order to gain the PSF.
