Preparation of Samples for Electron Microscopy

Preparation of Samples for Electron Microscopy

To be visualized by an electron microscope, either transmission or scanning, biological samples need to be fixed (stabilized) so the electron beam does not destroy them and dried thoroughly (desiccated/dehydrated) so the vacuum does not affect them. Fixation needs to be done as quickly as possible because the sample properties will start changing as soon as it is removed from its natural environment. For example, in a tissue sample, the oxygen levels begin decreasing, causing an altered...

Background:

Surface quality inspection of steel plates is crucial.
Deep neural networks require sufficient defect samples for accurate inspection.
Collecting adequate defect samples via cameras is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based method for generating high-quality steel plate defect samples.
To improve the performance of deep learning models for defect inspection.
To address the issue of insufficient defect sample data.

Main Methods:

A two-stage sample generation process: production and elimination.
Simulating defect formation on steel plate surfaces.
Minimizing differences between generated samples in both stages.

Main Results:

The proposed GAN method generates high-quality defect samples.
Generated samples improve the training of inspection models.
Enhanced inspection models demonstrate improved performance.

Conclusions:

The production-and-elimination GAN approach effectively generates realistic defect samples.
This method significantly enhances the accuracy of steel plate defect inspection models.
The technique offers a viable solution for data augmentation in industrial inspection.
