Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

11.9K
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

2.8K
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...

Main Methods:

  • A framework for multiphase reconstruction based on entropy statistical descriptors was proposed.
  • The accuracy of 2D and 3D reconstructions was quantified using the lineal-path function and two-point cluster function.
  • Morphological information and connectivity were compared between original and reconstructed microstructures.

Main Results:

  • Reconstructed 2D and 3D microstructures exhibited similar morphological information and connectivity to original images.
  • The lineal-path function and two-point cluster function closely matched between original and reconstructed data.
  • The proposed method successfully captured salient morphological features of multiphase systems.

Conclusions:

  • The entropy statistical descriptor-based framework provides accurate multiphase reconstruction.
