Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
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...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been developed.

Two-Dimensional Microscopy in Microbiology

Two-Dimensional Microscopy in Microbiology

Two-dimensional (2D) microscopy encompasses a range of optical techniques that capture images within a single focal plane, offering detailed representations of microscopic structures. These techniques are essential in biological and medical research, enabling the visualization of cellular and subcellular structures with different levels of contrast and specificity.There are several major types of 2D microscopy, each with strengths and applications.Bright-Field MicroscopyBright-field microscopy...

Background:

Vignetting causes radial brightness attenuation in images, impacting quantitative analysis.
Standard vignetting correction relies on external reference objects.
Image-based methods offer an alternative for vignetting correction.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an effective, real-time vignetting correction method for wide field light microscopy.
To enable accurate quantitative image analysis by addressing intrinsic acquisition system effects.

Main Methods:

A novel multi-image based method to estimate the vignetting function.
Utilizing an incrementally built background from a proposed segmentation algorithm.
Validation through comparison with manually segmented images.

Main Results:

The proposed method demonstrates superior performance in vignetting correction across diverse image types (cell cultures, histology, synthetic).
Results are consistently better than or comparable to traditional methods using homogeneous reference objects.
The method is suitable for real-time applications.

Conclusions:

The developed multi-image based method effectively corrects vignetting in wide field microscopy.
This approach enhances the reliability of quantitative image analyses without external references.
The technique offers a robust and efficient solution for real-time image processing challenges.
