Resolution enhancement through microscopic spatiotemporal control.

چکیده
Operating at biologically benign conditions, multi-photon fluorescence imaging microscopy has benefitted immensely from recent developments in microscopic resolution enhancement. Fluorescence microscopy continues to be the best choice for experiments on live specimens, however, multi-photon fluorescence imaging often suffers from overlapping fluorescence of typical dyes used in microscopy, limiting its scope. This limitation has been the focus of our research where we show that by making simple modifications to the laser pulse structure, it is possible to resolve these overlapping fluorescence complications. Specifically, by using pairs of femtosecond pulses with variable delay in place of single pulse excitation, we show controlled fluorescence excitation or suppression of one of the fluorophores over the other through wave-packet interferometry. Such an effect prevails even after the fluorophore coherence timescale, which effectively results in a higher spatial resolution. Here we extend the effect of our pulse-pair technique to microscopic axial resolution experiments and show that such pairs of pulses can also 'enhance' axial resolution.

Super-resolution of spatiotemporal event-based image
Super-resolution (SR) is a useful technology to generate a high-resolution (HR) visual output from the low-resolution (LR) visual inputs overcoming the physical limitations of the sensors. However, SR has not been applied to enhance the resolution of spatiotemporal event streams recorded by dynamic vision sensors (DVSs). SR of DVS recording is fundamentally different from existing frame-based s...

We present an approach for significantly improving the quantitative analysis of motion in noisy fluorescence microscopic image sequences. The new partial differential equation based method is a general extension of a 2-D nonlinear anisotropic diffusion filtering scheme to a specially adapted 3-D nonlinear anisotropic diffusion filtering scheme, with two spatial image dimensions and the time t i...

Photoactivatable fluorophores have become an important technique for the high spatiotemporal resolution of biological imaging. Here, we developed a novel photoactivatable probe (PHBT), which is based on 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), a small organic fluorophore known for its classic luminescence mechanism through excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) with the keto form a...

This study presents a method to reconstruct a high-resolution image using a deep convolution neural network. We propose a deep model, entitled Deep Block Super Resolution (DBSR), by fusing the output features of a deep convolutional network and a shallow convolutional network. In this way, our model benefits from high frequency and low frequency features extracted from deep and shallow networks...
