Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

7.0K
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...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

3.8K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Background:

  • Ultrasound molecular imaging (USMI) noninvasively visualizes molecular markers in vivo using targeted microbubble contrast agents (MCAs).
  • USMI is crucial for cancer research, aiding in predicting tumor malignancy and treatment response.
  • Existing high-resolution ultrasound methods do not directly apply to molecular imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate super-resolution visualization of biomarker expression in vivo using superharmonic ultrasound imaging (SpHI).
  • To validate and optimize the SpHI method for molecular imaging applications.
  • To create co-registered maps of biomarker expression and microvasculature in a preclinical cancer model.

Main Methods:

  • Employed superharmonic ultrasound imaging (SpHI) with dual-frequency transducers and targeted contrast agents.
  • Utilized localization microscopy processing for super-resolution reconstruction.
  • Validated the technique in vitro using concurrent optical and ultrasound microscopy with a microvessel phantom, and performed in vivo experiments in a rat fibrosarcoma model.

Main Results:

  • Achieved super-resolution visualization of biomarker expression in vivo.
  • Demonstrated a resolution of 23 μm, a fivefold improvement over previous diffraction-limited molecular imaging.
  • Generated co-registered maps of biomarker expression and microvasculature in a rat fibrosarcoma model.

Conclusions:

  • Superharmonic ultrasound imaging (SpHI) enables super-resolution molecular imaging in vivo.
