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...

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...

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.

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...

Deconvolution

Deconvolution

Deconvolution, also known as inverse filtering, is the process of extracting the impulse response from known input and output signals. This technique is vital in scenarios where the system's characteristics are unknown, and they must be inferred from the observable signals.
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...

Area of Science:

Image processing
Optical microscopy
Signal processing

Background:

Photon shot noise is a primary noise source in optical microscopy, often modeled as a Poisson process.
Existing discrete wavelet transform (DWT) methods for Poisson noise denoising suffer from shift variance, aliasing, and limited directional selectivity.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an advanced denoising algorithm for optical microscopy images affected by Poisson noise.
To overcome the limitations of traditional DWT methods using a dual tree complex wavelet transform.

Main Methods:

A novel denoising algorithm employing the dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) is proposed.
The method estimates threshold values for wavelet coefficients from approximation coefficients, specifically for Poisson noise.
The algorithm's performance is evaluated against state-of-the-art denoising techniques.

Main Results:

The proposed DTCWT-based method significantly improves image quality metrics compared to existing algorithms.
The algorithm demonstrates effective contrast enhancement, especially for collagen fiber images.
Fast and efficient image enhancement is achieved, even for images acquired under low light intensity.

Conclusions:

The dual tree complex wavelet transform offers a superior approach to denoising optical microscopy images with Poisson noise.
This method provides enhanced image quality and contrast, crucial for analyzing biological samples like collagen fibers.
The algorithm is particularly beneficial for low-light imaging scenarios, improving diagnostic capabilities.
