Transmission Electron Microscopy01:15

Transmission Electron Microscopy

6.1K
In 1931, physicist Ernst Ruska—building on the idea that magnetic fields can direct an electron beam just as lenses can direct a beam of light in an optical microscope—developed the first prototype of the electron microscope. This development led to the development of the field of electron microscopy. In the transmission electron microscope (TEM), electrons are produced by a hot tungsten element and accelerated by a potential difference in an electron gun, which gives them up to 400...

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...

Overview of Electron Microscopy

The wavelengths of visible light ultimately limit the maximum theoretical resolution of images created by light microscopes. Most light microscopes can only magnify 1000X, and a few can magnify up to 1500X. Electrons, like electromagnetic radiation, can behave like waves, but with wavelengths of 0.005 nm, they produce significantly greater resolution up to 0.05 nm as compared to 500 nm for visible light. An electron microscope (EM) can create a sharp image that is magnified up to 2,000,000X.

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.0K
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...

Determination of Crystal Structures

135
In the late 1800s, the revelation that light extended beyond visible wavelengths led to the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen. Recognized as high-energy electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths, X-rays prompted exploration into their interaction with crystals. Max von Laue proposed in 1912 that the periodic arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in crystals would cause them to diffract X-rays, a hypothesis confirmed through experiments with copper sulfate and zinc sulfide...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Technology
  • Detector Physics
  • Nuclear Medicine and Radiography

Background:

  • The Micro-Angiographic Fluoroscope (MAF) is a detector with 1024 × 1024 pixels and 35-micron effective pixel size, capable of real-time imaging at 30 fps.
  • It utilizes a CCD camera, fiber-optic taper, light image intensifier (LII), and CsI phosphor, enabling quantum-limited operation and low-noise performance.
  • The MAF supports both energy-integrating (EI) and single photon counting (SPC) modes for versatile imaging applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the dual-application capability of the MAF detector for both nuclear medicine imaging and radiography.
  • To evaluate the MAF's performance in EI mode for radiography and SPC mode for radioisotope imaging.
  • To compare image quality and spatial resolution between different event localization algorithms in SPC mode.

Main Methods:

  • Radiography was performed using the MAF in EI mode.
  • Nuclear medicine imaging utilized the MAF in SPC mode with a custom I-125 filled phantom and a gamma camera collimator.
  • Two event localization algorithms, simple threshold and weighted centroid, were applied to SPC data acquired at 20 fps.

Main Results:

  • The MAF successfully imaged a phantom with hot rods ranging from 0.9 mm to 2.3 mm in diameter in both radiography and radioisotope imaging modes.
  • The weighted centroid method improved spatial resolution compared to the simple threshold method by localizing detection events to a single pixel.
  • Radiographs showed clear structural details, while emission images were limited by collimator resolution, indicating potential for improvement with optimized collimator design.

Conclusions:

  • The MAF detector is capable of high-resolution imaging for both radiography and nuclear medicine applications.
  • The weighted centroid algorithm enhances spatial resolution in single photon counting mode.
  • The MAF detector offers a versatile solution for combined X-ray and radioisotope imaging, leveraging the strengths of each modality.
