Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

17.0K
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,...

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...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

7.6K
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...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

9.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Pathology
  • Computational Imaging
  • Medical Image Analysis

Background:

  • Image quality, resolution, and scanning time are crucial in digital pathology.
  • Uneven image intensities, caused by sample heterogeneity or optical issues, negatively impact diagnosis and quantitative analysis.
  • Stitching algorithms in digital pathology scanners can introduce or exacerbate intensity distortions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and validate five distinct methods for compensating intensity inhomogeneities in digital pathology images.
  • To address the impact of uneven illumination on diagnostic accuracy and quantitative analysis.
  • To provide robust solutions for both brightfield and fluorescent imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Developed and tested five compensation approaches, including adaptive histogram matching, regression-based corrections, and the background and shading correction (BaSiC) method.
  • Utilized common areas of neighboring fields-of-view to estimate and apply intensity compensations.
  • Validated methods for their ability to correct fixed-pattern artifacts and stochastic uneven illumination.

Main Results:

  • All five implemented methods demonstrated effectiveness in compensating for intensity distortions.
  • The proposed compensation methods are robust against common imaging artifacts like dust, bubbles, and optical aberrations.
  • Iterative approaches and multi-focal compensations were employed to correct uneven illumination across fields-of-view.

Conclusions:

  • The validated compensation methods significantly improve image quality in digital pathology.
  • These techniques are suitable for both brightfield and fluorescent microscopy, enhancing diagnostic reliability.
  • The developed methods offer a robust solution for correcting intensity variations in digitized tissue samples.
