Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for dispatching requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries. A request specifying an identity is received and dispatched to a service instance of a data storage boundary, where each data storage boundary is defined by a regulation or policy restricting data storage of specific types of data to computing devices within a specified boundary. A feedback response, specifying a target location, is received from the service instance in response to determining that the service instance cannot access the data because the data is associated with a different data storage boundary. A dynamic dispatch rule specifying the identity and the target location is generated and a subsequent request specifying the identity is processed by executing this dynamic dispatch rule to dispatch the subsequent request directly to a service instance associated with the target location.

Abstract: The invention relates to a localization microscopy method for localizing signal sources. Here, at least once for each pixel of a detector, values of an error parameter are ascertained and stored in a calibration data record in a manner assigned to the relevant pixel. Captured image data are used to identify regions of origin of signal sources and fit a point spread function to the pixel values of the respective regions of origin. The respective signal source is localized on the basis of the point spread function. The pixel-specific error parameter of each pixel can be compared to a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, these pixels are either ignored or replaced by means of interpolation when fitting the point spread function. In addition or as an alternative thereto, the real noise performance of the pixels is ascertained and corrected on the basis of derived pixel-specific error parameters.

Abstract: A method is useful for generating an overview image using a high-aperture objective. An optical detection beam path with the objective is provided. The path is transferred into a second operating state via a first depth of field increased to a second depth of field. Detection radiation is captured in the second operating state. Detection radiation coming from the sample space is collected by the objective, guided along the path, and captured by a detector sensitive to detection radiation as an image with a lateral image field, which is the same in the first and second operating states.

Abstract: A method for multi-line detection, in which a number M of regions Rm to be read, with m=1, . . . , M, is specified on a two-dimensional detector connected to an actuator. In each region to be read, a number J of row groups in each case of adjacent detector rows is specified, wherein each row group comprises a predefined number N of detector rows. In order to be able to record light in several areas on the detector at the same time, integration process are started successively in all participating rows and, after these have been ended, read processes are started. A read time is available for the reading of each row, this read time also corresponds to the temporal offset in which the integration processes are started row by row. An actual exposure, controlled via a corresponding signal, is effected only when integration processes have actually been started in all participating rows and the first integration process has not yet been ended again.
