Overview of Microscopy Techniques

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...

Main Methods:

Implementation of incremental gradient approaches within the reconstruction routine.
Decomposition of the phase retrieval problem into proximal operator evaluation, stochastic gradient descent, and Wirtinger derivatives.
Benchmarking against Extended Ptychographic Iterative Engine (ePIE) and Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM).

Main Results:

Accelerated proximal gradient methods demonstrated superior accuracy and convergence rates compared to ePIE and ADMM.
Performance was evaluated in both noisy and noiseless conditions using simulated and experimental datasets.
