Towards Automatic Construction of Cell-Lineage of C. elegans from Nomarski DIC Microscope Images.
This study aims at automatic construction of a cell lineage from 4D (multi-focal, time-lapse) images, which are taken using a Nomarski DIC (differential-interference contrast) microscope. A system with such abilities would be a powerful tool for studying embryo genesis and gene function based on mutants, whose cell lineage may differ from that of wild types. We have designed and implemented a s...
متن کامل3D Fourier analysis methods for digital processing and 3D visualization of confocal transmission images
We have developed digital 3D Fourier transform methods for comparing the 3D spatial frequency content and hence the axial and transverse resolution of confocal versus conventional microscope images. In particular, we have utilized these techniques to evaluate the performance of our recently-developed confocal transmission microscope for bright field and Nomarski DIC imaging. We have also found ...
متن کاملImaging C. elegans Embryos using an Epifluorescent Microscope and Open Source Software
Cellular processes, such as chromosome assembly, segregation and cytokinesis,are inherently dynamic. Time-lapse imaging of living cells, using fluorescent-labeled reporter proteins or differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, allows for the examination of the temporal progression of these dynamic events which is otherwise inferred from analysis of fixed samples(1,2). Moreover, the st...
متن کاملReal-time quantitative differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy implemented via novel liquid crystal prisms
A phase shifting differential interference contrast (DIC) microscope, which provides quantitative phase information and is capable of imaging at video rates, has been constructed. Using a combination of phase shifting and bi-directional shear, the microscope captures a series of eight images which are then integrated in Fourier space. In the resultant image the intensity profile linearly maps t...
متن کاملImproving DIC microscopy with polarization modulation
It is demonstrated experimentally, as well as analytically, that when the polarization of the light incident upon the first Nomarski–Wollaston prism in a differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscope is switched by 908, image highlights are changed into shadows and vice versa. Using an inexpensive ferroelectric liquid-crystal modulator, which is easily installed in the microscope, t...
