  "abstract": "The MICADO instrument for the ESO ELT will provide Adaptive Optics (AO) diffraction-limited NIR imaging and spectroscopy. A critical component of MICADO is the Point Spread Function Reconstruction (PSF-R) Software, which is designed to perform a blind reconstruction of the PSF for all observations using AO telemetry data only, both with the Single Conjugate (SCAO) and Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) modes of MICADO. The SCAO PSF-R Pipeline is currently being completed, and validation with ERIS at VLT and SOUL+LUCI at LBT has demonstrated high accuracy, of percent-level on-axis and 5-20% off-axis. Initial scientific simulations confirm that the PSF-R software meets the necessary precision for high-quality analysis, securing its role for MICADO's first light and future ELT operations.",
