Image restoration approaches, such as digital deconvolution, are becoming widely used for improving the quality of microscopic images. However, no quantification of the gain in resolution of fluorescence images is available. We show that, after iterative constrained deconvolution, fluorescent cosmid signals appear to be 25% smaller, and 1.2-kb fragment signals on combed molecules faithfully display the expected length.

The sperm nucleus has a unique chromatin structure where the DNA is highly condensed and associated with specific proteins, the protamines. It is a nondividing cell which is also transcriptionally inactive. After fusion with an oo...
