Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

16.0K
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,...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

12.3K
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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

9.2K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Microscopy
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • In vivo two-photon microscopy faces challenges with dynamic aberrations, limiting imaging depth and resolution.
    • Adaptive optics (AO) can correct these aberrations but requires fast wavefront sensing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a fast, direct wavefront-sensing method for dynamic in vivo adaptive optical two-photon microscopy.
    • To improve imaging of structures within early-stage Drosophila embryos.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor for high-speed wavefront measurement.
    • Employed open-loop control for rapid wavefront correction.
    • Used autofluorescence from yolk in Drosophila embryos as guide stars for wavefront sensing.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully measured aberrations in the middle of Drosophila embryos directly for the first time.
    • Achieved significant improvement in contrast and signal intensity after aberration correction.
    • Demonstrated the method's efficacy through live imaging of a Drosophila embryo.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method offers a fast and direct approach for wavefront sensing in dynamic in vivo microscopy.
    • This technique enhances the quality of two-photon microscopy imaging within scattering biological tissues like embryos.
    • Enables clearer visualization of cellular structures in challenging biological samples.
