Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

5.9K
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 Microscopy

8.2K
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...

Sampling Theorem01:15

Sampling Theorem

819
In signal processing, the analysis of continuous-time signals, denoted as x(t), often involves sampling techniques to convert these signals into discrete-time signals. This process is essential for digital representation and manipulation. A critical component in sampling is the train of impulses, characterized by the sampling interval and the sampling frequency. The relationship between these parameters and the original signal's properties dictates the success of the sampling process.

Bandpass Sampling01:17

Bandpass Sampling

270
In signal processing, bandpass sampling is an effective technique for sampling signals that have most of their energy concentrated within a narrow frequency band. This type of signal is known as a bandpass signal. The key principle of bandpass sampling involves sampling the signal at a rate that is greater than twice the signal's bandwidth to prevent aliasing.
A bandpass signal has a spectrum with a lower frequency limit, denoted as ω1, and an upper frequency limit, denoted as ω2....

    Area of Science:

    • Optical imaging systems
    • Metrology
    • Image processing

    Background:

    • Accurate characterization of optical imaging systems relies on precise measurement of the point spread function (PSF).
    • Traditional PSF measurement methods, like pinhole imaging, suffer from distortions due to sampling intervals and detector noise, leading to errors in optical transfer function (OTF) and modulation transfer function (MTF) calculations.
    • Sub-pixel sampling of PSF intensity is crucial for mitigating these measurement errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a new method for sub-pixel sampling of PSF intensity, overcoming limitations of existing pinhole-based MTF measurement techniques.
    • To enhance the accuracy and anti-noise robustness of OTF and MTF measurements in optical imaging systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel method employing accurate non-integer up-sampling matrices for separate binary pixels.
    • Utilized random patterns displayed on a digital micro-mirror device (DMD) as the target for PSF acquisition.
    • The method's physics is analogous to the slanted edge method, enabling sub-pixel sampling of PSF intensity.

    Main Results:

    • Numerical simulations demonstrated significant improvement in the discrete sampling of the point spread function.
    • The proposed method enhances anti-noise robustness compared to conventional techniques.
    • The accuracy of optical transfer function measurements is substantially improved.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed sub-pixel sampling method effectively addresses distortions in PSF acquisition.
    • This technique offers a more reliable approach for measuring the modulation transfer function (MTF) and optical transfer function (OTF).
    • The findings are beneficial for improving the quality assessment of optical imaging systems.
