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...

$X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples$ 01:10

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...

X-ray Imaging

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with X-rays, and by 1900, X-ray was widely...

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.

Background:

Synchrotron radiation (SR) X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) offers high-resolution imaging for small objects across medicine, biology, and industry.
Limited detector field of view (FOV) in SR X-ray micro-CT restricts sample size to a few millimeters.
Conventional reconstruction methods produce DC-shift and low-frequency artifacts for samples exceeding the FOV, a problem known as local tomography.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel statistical iterative reconstruction method to eliminate artifacts in SR X-ray micro-CT caused by local tomography.
To enable high-resolution SR imaging of larger samples with improved image quality compared to traditional techniques.

Main Methods:

Development and application of a statistical iterative reconstruction algorithm.
Evaluation of the method using real data from diverse SR micro-CT applications.
Comparison of reconstructed image quality against conventional methods.

Main Results:

The proposed statistical iterative reconstruction method effectively eliminates DC-shift and low-frequency artifacts.
Significant improvements in image quality were observed for SR micro-CT scans of larger samples.
The method demonstrates superior performance compared to conventional reconstruction techniques in local tomography scenarios.

Conclusions:

The introduced statistical iterative reconstruction method is a viable solution for the local tomography problem in SR X-ray micro-CT.
This approach enables high-resolution imaging of larger specimens, expanding the applicability of SR X-ray micro-CT.
The method offers superior image quality, crucial for detailed analysis in medical, biological, and industrial fields.
