Sarah,

you may use a theoretical PSF, for which you have to enter a number of
parameters including sample RI. If you want to use an experimental PSF,
Huygens Pro uses a number of averaged bead images to back-calculate the PSF,
for this, you need to give in addition the radius of the beads used.

In any case, I strongly recommend to avoid distortions of the PSF by RI
mismatch, which will, deco or not, reduce the resolution of the images.
Deconvolution can only compensate for very moderate distortions of the PSF.
Try to compensate for asymmetric PSF by adapting the immersion fluid RI.

cheers, jens
