Background:

Dark-field microscopy offers superior contrast and resolution for unstained samples.
Traditional methods for generating dark-field images can be complex and require specialized equipment.
Extracting detailed information from bright-field microscopy is often limited by resolution and contrast.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computational method for reconstructing high-resolution dark-field images from low-resolution bright-field images.
To leverage deep learning to establish the complex relationship between bright-field and dark-field imaging.
To provide an efficient and accessible approach for advanced microscopy imaging.

Main Methods:

An end-to-end convolutional neural network was designed and trained.
Matched bright-field and dark-field image pairs were acquired using a custom multiplexed imaging system, eliminating the need for image registration.
The trained network reconstructs high-resolution dark-field images from conventional bright-field inputs.

Main Results:

The method successfully converted bright-field images into high-resolution dark-field images.
Validation using resolution test targets and biological tissues confirmed the method's effectiveness.
The reconstructed images demonstrated high resolution and contrast, comparable to traditional dark-field microscopy.

Conclusions:

The proposed deep learning-based method enables efficient, high-resolution numerical dark-field imaging from bright-field microscopy.
The approach simplifies image acquisition by avoiding manual image registration and is applicable to various sample types.
The method exhibits robustness against noise and experimental setup instabilities, offering a versatile imaging solution.
