Optics Letters
|May 16, 2019
Summary
This study introduces a new method to reduce stripe artifacts in light sheet microscopy, improving image clarity for deep tissue imaging in zebrafish. The technique effectively mitigates artifacts, enhancing visualization of biological specimens.
Area of Science:
- Microscopy and Imaging Technologies
- Biomedical Optics
- Zebrafish Neuroscience
Background:
- Light sheet microscopy is crucial for imaging large biological samples.
- Stripe artifacts, caused by light absorption and scattering, hinder image quality in light sheet microscopy.
- Existing methods struggle to fully eliminate these artifacts in deep tissue imaging.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a novel approach for mitigating stripe artifacts in digital scanned light sheet microscopy (DSLM).
- To enhance image reconstruction in digital scanned structured illumination light sheet microscopy (DSLM-SI).
- To improve the clarity and quality of images acquired from deep within biological specimens.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a new artifact mitigation strategy for DSLM and DSLM-SI.
- Development of an advanced reconstruction algorithm for DSLM-SI.
- In vivo imaging of larval zebrafish central nervous system at depths up to 156 microns.
Main Results:
- Significant reduction in stripe artifacts observed in DSLM and DSLM-SI.
- The novel reconstruction method for DSLM-SI yielded clearer images.
- Average reduction of stripe artifact magnitude by 20% across three datasets.
Conclusions:
- The developed method effectively reduces stripe artifacts in light sheet microscopy.
- This technique offers improved imaging capabilities for deep biological tissues.
- Enhanced image quality facilitates more detailed studies of complex biological systems.

5.4K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

02:16Light Acquisition
9.4K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
