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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.4K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

13.3K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Computer Vision
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging typically requires specialized and expensive optical systems.
  • Previous 3D NLOS reconstructions were limited by hardware complexity and cost.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a low-cost, 3D full-color non-line-of-sight imaging approach using an ordinary camera.
  • To enable 3D scene reconstruction behind occlusions without specialized hardware or calibration.

Main Methods:

  • A new measurement acquisition strategy utilizing orthogonal edges of an occluding structure.
  • An information-orthogonal scene representation model for enhanced resolution.
  • A tailored reconstruction method combining these elements.

Main Results:

  • Successful reconstruction of 3D images of hidden scenes from ordinary photographs.
  • Achieved accurate transverse resolution using the occluding structure's edges.
  • Demonstrated accurate range resolution via the scene representation model.

Conclusions:

  • The developed approach enables accurate 3D NLOS imaging with inexpensive, ubiquitous hardware.
  • This method eliminates the need for calibration images, simplifying the process.
  • Potential applications include indoor reconnaissance and search-and-rescue operations.
