Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

9.4K
Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.0K
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:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Electron Microscopy

Background:

  • Fluctuation electron microscopy (FEM) often yields anomalously low normalized variance values.
  • Conventional quantitative interpretation methods require refinement for accurate analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present three experimental corrections for quantitative interpretation in FEM.
  • To address limitations in current FEM analysis, particularly concerning detector effects and thickness variations.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated the impact of pixelated detectors on nanodiffraction pattern statistics.
  • Developed adjusted shot noise correction considering Modulation Transfer Function (MTF).
  • Proposed an alternative thickness correction method for amorphous silicon (a-Si).

Main Results:

  • Pixelated detectors reduce high-frequency signals, impacting background normalized variance.
  • Background-subtracted peak heights are less affected by detector effects under optimized conditions.
  • A new thickness correction method was proposed, addressing inadequacy of traditional approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Experimental corrections are crucial for accurate quantitative interpretation in FEM.
  • Detector sampling, MTF effects, and thickness variations significantly influence FEM results.
  • Further investigation into displacement decoherence is suggested for understanding thickness effects.
