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...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

14.7K
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...

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

21.7K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical imaging
  • Optical tomography
  • Molecular imaging

Background:

  • Limited-projection fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) enables rapid 3D visualization of fluorophores in vivo.
  • Reconstruction in limited-projection FMT is severely ill-posed due to insufficient projection data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a strategy to alleviate the ill-posedness in limited-projection FMT reconstruction.
  • To improve the accuracy of 3D fluorophore distribution visualization using limited projection data.

Main Methods:

  • A feasible region extraction strategy based on a double mesh approach was developed.
  • An initial reconstruction was performed using a coarse mesh.
  • The fluorophore area from the initial reconstruction was used as a feasible region for a fine mesh reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • The double mesh strategy successfully improved the fluorophore distribution reconstruction.
  • Both simulation experiments on a digital mouse and in vivo small animal experiments validated the strategy.
  • The method demonstrated effective fluorophore distribution with limited fluorescence measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed double mesh strategy effectively addresses the ill-posed nature of limited-projection FMT.
  • This approach enhances the accuracy of 3D fluorophore visualization in small animal studies.
  • The strategy is suitable for reconstructing limited-projection FMT data, offering improved diagnostic capabilities.
