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...

Area of Science:

  • Ocean acoustics
  • Acoustic imaging
  • Signal processing

Background:

  • Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) is crucial for object detection in underwater environments.
  • Conventional SAS imaging relies on simplified models, leading to out-of-focus artifacts for complex acoustic phenomena like multiple scattering.
  • These artifacts, particularly late-time returns, hinder accurate object identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced SAS image reconstruction technique.
  • To improve the focus of late-time acoustic returns.
  • To maintain overall image quality while enhancing specific features.

Main Methods:

  • A novel image reconstruction technique is proposed.
  • The method selectively applies range-general and range-specific focusing algorithms.
  • The approach is validated using experimental SAS data.

Main Results:

  • The new technique successfully improves the focus of late-time returns.
  • Image quality away from the focal plane is preserved.
  • Performance is compared against a conventional range-specific algorithm.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SAS imaging method offers enhanced capability for detecting objects with complex acoustic signatures.
  • Selective application of focusing strategies is effective in overcoming limitations of traditional SAS.
  • This advancement has implications for improved underwater object detection and environmental mapping.
