Light Acquisition02:16

Light Acquisition

9.0K
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.

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

8.2K
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...

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

19.4K
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,...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

12.0K
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...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

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:

    • Computer Vision
    • Image Processing
    • Deep Learning

    Background:

    • Light Field (LF) imaging offers advanced capabilities like post-capture refocusing and depth estimation.
    • Low-light conditions significantly degrade LF image quality and limit these functionalities.
    • Existing single-frame low-light enhancement techniques cannot leverage the geometric information inherent in LF data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel deep neural network, L3Fnet, for effective Low-Light Light Field (L3F) restoration.
    • To enhance visual quality of LF images under low-light conditions while preserving epipolar geometry.
    • To introduce comprehensive datasets for training and evaluating L3F restoration methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a two-stage deep neural network architecture (L3Fnet) for L3F restoration.
    • Stage-I encodes LF geometric information across multiple views.
    • Stage-II utilizes the encoded geometry to reconstruct individual LF views, incorporating a pre-processing block for robustness to varying light levels.

    Main Results:

    • L3Fnet successfully performs visual enhancement and preserves epipolar geometry in low-light LF images.
    • Demonstrated effectiveness through visual and numerical comparisons on a newly collected comprehensive LF dataset.
    • Showcased adaptability to extreme low-light conditions using the L3F-wild dataset and robustness via a pre-processing block.

    Conclusions:

    • L3Fnet offers a significant advancement in low-light LF image restoration.
    • The proposed datasets facilitate further research in this domain.
    • L3Fnet demonstrates versatility by successfully enhancing single-frame images through a pseudo-LF conversion.
