Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy01:26

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

13.8K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.9K
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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.8K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Econometric Views (EViews)

587
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.5K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Image reconstruction methods are crucial for reducing radiation dose and scan times in tomography.
  • Emerging modalities like differential x-ray phase-contrast tomography (D-XPCT) face limitations due to dose and acquisition time constraints.
  • High-resolution imaging of biomedical samples using D-XPCT is hindered by challenges in reconstructing images from incomplete, few-view data, leading to high-frequency information loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and investigate a novel subspace-based reconstruction strategy for few-view D-XPCT.
  • To address the challenge of reconstructing high-resolution images from limited tomographic measurements.
  • To simultaneously recover fine details in a region of interest and suppress global noise and artifacts.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step subspace-based reconstruction approach was developed.
  • The method was applied to reconstruct images from few-view experimental data.
  • Data was acquired using an edge-illumination D-XPCT scanner.

Main Results:

  • The proposed subspace-based method successfully reconstructed high-resolution images from few-view D-XPCT data.
  • The strategy effectively recovered high-frequency details within the region of interest.
  • Global noise and artifacts were significantly suppressed, improving overall image quality.

Conclusions:

  • The developed subspace-based reconstruction strategy is effective for few-view D-XPCT.
  • This method enables high-resolution imaging of biomedical samples with reduced data requirements.
  • The approach offers a promising solution for overcoming limitations in emerging tomographic modalities.
