Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

14.8K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

3.0K
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...

Computed Tomography

9.5K
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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

12.2K
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
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FD-OCT) axial resolution is limited by light source coherence length.
    • Spectral interference signals (interferograms) are typically analyzed using inverse Fourier transform.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce Spectral Estimation OCT (SE-OCT) for improved axial resolution in OCT imaging.
    • To demonstrate SE-OCT's ability to overcome coherence length limitations.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized autoregressive spectral estimation technique to analyze spectral interferograms.
    • Replaced the standard inverse Fourier transform in FD-OCT analysis.
    • Applied SE-OCT to ex vivo corneal endothelium imaging.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved up to 4.7x improvement in axial resolution compared to FD-OCT.
    • Demonstrated complete sidelobe suppression in the depth point-spread function.
    • Enabled clear visualization of corneal endothelium anatomical details previously unresolvable with FD-OCT.

    Conclusions:

    • SE-OCT significantly enhances axial resolution and image quality in OCT.
    • The technique offers improved diagnostic capabilities for ocular diseases without hardware modification.
    • SE-OCT presents a promising advancement for OCT-based medical diagnosis and disease management.
