Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Background:

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a hybrid imaging modality combining optical contrast with ultrasound resolution.
Accurate reconstruction of optical absorption and acoustic properties is crucial for quantitative PAT.
Existing methods may struggle with simultaneous recovery of both parameters, limiting diagnostic capabilities.

To assess the algorithm's performance in scenarios relevant to cancer detection and joint imaging.

Main Methods:

A rigorous iterative solution to the Helmholtz photoacoustic wave equation was employed.
Regularization techniques were integrated to enhance reconstruction stability and accuracy.
The finite element method was utilized for spatial discretization and solving the wave equation.
Numerical simulations mimicking realistic conditions were performed for validation.

Main Results:

The algorithm successfully reconstructed 3D photoacoustic images with quantitative accuracy.
Simultaneous recovery of optical absorption and acoustic speed was achieved.
Accurate localization, sizing, and property estimation of targets were demonstrated in numerical examples.
