Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

15.3K
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...

Computed Tomography

9.6K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

3.1K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Imaging
    • X-ray Imaging

    Background:

    • Differential Phase Contrast Computed Tomography (DPC-CT) is an advanced imaging technique.
    • Total Variation (TV) regularization is often used in DPC-CT for image reconstruction.
    • A common challenge with TV regularization is over-flattening of reconstructed images.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved algebraic reconstruction algorithm for DPC-CT.
    • To address the over-flattening issue in TV regularization for DPC-CT.
    • To enable high-quality DPC-CT reconstruction with a limited number of views.

    Main Methods:

    • An algebraic reconstruction algorithm utilizing Total Variation (TV) regularization was developed.
    • A two-step reconstruction process was implemented: first, gradient refractive index images were reconstructed, then refractive index images were computed by solving the Poisson equation.
    • The algorithm was tested using simulations and experimental data acquired with dark field imaging optics.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed two-step method effectively overcomes the over-flattening problem associated with TV regularization.
    • Satisfactory DPC-CT image quality was achieved using a significantly reduced number of projections compared to traditional methods.
    • Experimental validation confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm on a biological sample.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed two-step TV-regularized algebraic reconstruction algorithm offers a robust solution for DPC-CT.
    • This method allows for high-quality DPC-CT imaging with a limited projection dataset.
    • The findings have significant implications for advancing DPC-CT applications in various fields.
