Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

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.
Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...
Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

  • To improve the accuracy and quality of image reconstruction in FDOT.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a preconditioning method for the FDOT forward matrix.
  • Applied convex relaxation and greedy-type sparse signal recovery algorithms.
  • Validated the method using real data from a phantom experiment.

Main Results:

  • Preconditioning successfully reduced the coherence of the FDOT forward matrix.
  • Reconstruction results showed significant visual and quantitative improvements.
  • The proposed method enhanced the recovery of sparse fluorophore distributions.

Conclusions:

  • Preconditioning the FDOT forward matrix is an effective strategy to address ill-posed inverse problems.
  • The combined approach of preconditioning with sparse recovery algorithms yields superior image reconstruction.
  • This technique offers a promising advancement for FDOT applications.
