Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

4.9K
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

7.1K
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:

  • Photonics and Imaging Technology
  • Computational Imaging
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Recent advancements in image sensors enable individual photon capture, but raw data is inherently sparse and noisy.
  • Existing single-photon imaging techniques struggle with data quality under challenging lighting conditions.
  • A need exists for robust, versatile, and training-free processing methods for high-resolution single-photon cameras.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce CASPI (Collaborative Photon Processing for Active Single-Photon Imaging), a novel processing pipeline.
  • To demonstrate CASPI's effectiveness in enhancing image quality from sparse and noisy photon data.
  • To showcase CASPI's versatility across different applications and lighting conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed CASPI, a technology-agnostic and application-agnostic photon processing pipeline.
  • CASPI leverages collaborative exploitation of local and non-local correlations within spatio-temporal photon data.
  • The pipeline is designed to be training-free, enabling immediate application to emerging single-photon cameras.

Main Results:

  • CASPI reliably estimates scene properties even under very challenging, low-light conditions.
  • Demonstrated successful application in LiDAR imaging across a wide range of photon flux levels (sub-photon to high ambient).
  • Validated effectiveness in live-cell autofluorescence Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) with low photon counts.

Conclusions:

  • CASPI significantly improves the reliability and quality of images captured by single-photon cameras.
  • The proposed pipeline offers a versatile solution for diverse imaging applications, including LiDAR and FLIM.
  • CASPI is envisioned as a foundational component for future on-chip photon processing units in advanced cameras.
