Method for deconvolving image data

A method for reducing required computational time for deconvolving image data (D(r)), the method comprising:

• capturing image data (O(r)) of an object with at least one confocal beam path and at least one detector element;
• converting the image data (O(r)) into resultant image data (D(r)) with a point spread function (EH(r));
• and
• deconvolving the resultant image data (D(r)) again in a frequency domain using a deconvolution function,
• wherein the deconvolution function necessitates formation of at least a number n of sum terms;
• the deconvolution function contains a Wiener parameter (w) as correction variable;
• results of the sum terms are stored in retrievable fashion;
• the Wiener parameter (w) is modified at least once proceeding from its original value, thereby obtaining a modified Wiener parameter;
• and
• the deconvolving is carried out with the deconvolution function with the modified Wiener parameter (w) and the stored results of the sum terms.
