Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

11.9K
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Microscopy and Bioimaging
  • Computational Biology
  • Image Analysis

Background:

  • Quantitative bioimaging analysis is susceptible to spatial shading and temporal background variations.
  • Existing methods for correcting these artifacts often require numerous images or manual parameter tuning.
  • Accurate image correction is crucial for reliable data quantification, especially in time-lapse studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce BaSiC, a novel image correction method for bioimaging data.
  • To address both spatial shading and temporal drift in microscopy images.
  • To provide a robust and user-friendly solution for improving quantitative image analysis.

Main Methods:

  • BaSiC employs a low-rank and sparse decomposition approach for image correction.
  • The method requires significantly fewer input images compared to traditional techniques.
  • It is designed to be robust against various imaging conditions and artifacts.

Main Results:

  • BaSiC effectively corrects spatial shading and temporal drift in bioimaging data.
  • The method demonstrates high accuracy with minimal input images.
  • BaSiC is robust across diverse imaging conditions and resistant to artifacts.

Conclusions:

  • BaSiC offers an accurate and efficient solution for correcting spatial and temporal artifacts in bioimaging.
  • The method enhances the reliability of quantitative analysis, particularly for time-lapse microscopy and single-cell quantification.
  • BaSiC is readily available as a Fiji/ImageJ plugin, requiring no manual parameter settings.
