Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

6.9K
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...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.1K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Background:

  • High-throughput time-lapse imaging is crucial for single-cell analysis.
  • Label-free phase-contrast microscopy offers noninvasive live-cell imaging.
  • Out-of-focus cells are common in time-lapse sequences due to cell migration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational method for correcting out-of-focus images in live-cell microscopy.
  • To improve the accuracy of cell analysis from time-lapse video data.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a classifier to detect out-of-focus images.
  • Utilized a de-noising diffusion probabilistic model to restore in-focus images.
  • Applied the method to time-lapse sequences of migrating immune cells.

Main Results:

  • The diffusion model outperformed deep discriminative models in image quality and cell boundary definition.
  • PostFocus enhanced the accuracy of cell detection and contact identification.
  • The method increased the yield of usable videos from time-lapse experiments.

Conclusions:

  • PostFocus effectively corrects out-of-focus images in label-free live-cell microscopy.
