Reconstruction of an axisymmetric image from its blurred and noisy projection
Abstract:
The 3-D velocity distribution of ionized photofragments resulting from the dissociation of methyl iodide is recovered by digitally deblurring and Abel inverting a single measured 2-D projection. The reconstructed distribution reveals two rings which are the dissociation channels corresponding to ground state and excited state iodine. A factor of 1.6 in resolution improvement of the channels is achieved by deconvolving the 2-D projection using a line-by-line implementation of Kawata's reblur algorithm. This technique guarantees noise-smoothed projections for the notoriously sensitive Abel inversion procedure, which in this paper is implemented using discrete Fourier and Hankel transforms.

Deconvolution involves several mathematical techniques to derive the impulse response. One common approach is polynomial division. In this method, the input and output sequences are treated as coefficients of...
Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
