Hi Xuejun
There are two companies uses unix platform for data acquisition and digital
deconvolution. (1) Applied Precision (Deltavision) - 425-557-1000 and (2)
Inovision corporation 919-788-9998
I have these two companies software. Recently Inovision added spectral
bleadthrough corrections in their software.
good luck
