Scanning electron microscopy images for planktonic diatoms from eutrophic Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya

ABSTRACT: The images and complementary information presented here are related to the article: Simiyu, B. M. & R. Kurmayer, 2022. Response of planktonic diatoms to eutrophication in Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya. Limnologica 93:125958 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.limno.2022.125958. The associated data article contains data and information on the identification of common diatoms using screening electron microscopy ( Phillips XL20 SEM). Diatoms presented belong in to six genera (11 species) and include: three chain forming centrics, four single cell centrics, two araphid diatoms originally described from L. Victoria, and one small highly variable preferentially epiphytic Nitzschia species. The method used for sample cleaning and analysis is presented.

ORGANISM(S): planktonic diatoms from surface freshwater

Spatial Transcriptomics correlated Electron Microscopy [MERFISH]

Project description:Current spatial transcriptomics methods provide molecular and spatial information but no morphological readout. Here, we present STEM - a method that correlates multiplexed error-robust FISH with electron microscopy from neighboring tissue sections of the same sample. STEM links transcriptional and spatial organization of single cells with ultrastructural morphology of the tissue in vivo. Using STEM to characterize demyelinated white-matter lesions allowed us to link morphology of myelin-laden foamy microglia to transcriptional signature. Moreover, we revealed that interferon-response microglia have unique morphology and are enriched near CD8 T-cells.

Fast principal component analysis for cryo-electron microscopy images.

Project description:Principal component analysis (PCA) plays an important role in the analysis of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) images for various tasks such as classification, denoising, compression, and ab initio modeling. We introduce a fast method for estimating a compressed representation of the 2-D covariance matrix of noisy cryo-EM projection images affected by radial point spread functions that enables fast PCA computation. Our method is based on a new algorithm for expanding images in the Fourier-Bessel basis (the harmonics on the disk), which provides a convenient way to handle the effect of the contrast transfer functions. For N images of size L × L, our method has time complexity O(NL3 + L4) and space complexity O(NL2 + L3). In contrast to previous work, these complexities are independent of the number of different contrast transfer functions of the images. We demonstrate our approach on synthetic and experimental data and show acceleration by factors of up to two orders of magnitude.

Spatial Transcriptomics correlated Electron Microscopy [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Current spatial transcriptomics methods identify cell types and states in a spatial context but lack morphological information. Electron microscopy, in contrast, provides structural details at nanometer resolution without decoding the diverse cellular states and identity. STEM address this limitation by correlating multiplexed error-robust FISH with electron microscopy from adjacent tissue sections. Using STEM to characterize demyelinated lesions in mice, we were able to bridge spatially resolved transcriptional data with morphological information on cell identities. This approach allowed us to link the morphology of foamy microglia and interferon-response microglia with their transcriptional signatures.

Quantitative analysis of mouse corpus callosum from electron microscopy images.

Project description:This article provides morphometric analysis of 72 electron microscopy images from control (n=4) and hypomyelinated (n=2) mouse corpus callosum. Measures of axon diameter and g-ratio were tabulated across all brains from two regions of the corpus callosum and a non-linear relationship between axon diameter and g-ratio was observed. These data are related to the accompanying research article comparing multiple methods of measuring g-ratio entitled 'A revised model for estimating g-ratio from MRI' (West et al., NeuroImage, 2015).

Calculating small-angle scattering intensity functions from electron-microscopy images.

Project description:We outline procedures to calculate small-angle scattering (SAS) intensity functions from 2-dimensional electron-microscopy (EM) images. Two types of scattering systems were considered: (a) the sample is a set of particles confined to a plane; or (b) the sample is modelled as parallel, infinitely long cylinders that extend into the image plane. In each case, an EM image is segmented into particle instances and the background, whereby coordinates and morphological parameters are computed and used to calculate the constituents of the SAS-intensity function. We compare our results with experimental SAS data, discuss limitations, both general and case specific, and outline some applications of this method which could potentially complement experimental SAS.

Deblurring of Class-Averaged Images in Single-Particle Electron Microscopy.

Project description:This paper proposes a method for deblurring of class-averaged images in single-particle electron microscopy (EM). Since EM images of biological samples are very noisy, the images which are nominally identical projection images are often grouped, aligned and averaged in order to cancel or reduce the background noise. However, the noise in the individual EM images generates errors in the alignment process, which creates an inherent limit on the accuracy of the resulting class averages. This inaccurate class average due to the alignment errors can be viewed as the result of a convolution of an underlying clear image with a blurring function. In this work, we develop a deconvolution method that gives an estimate for the underlying clear image from a blurred class-averaged image using precomputed statistics of misalignment. Since this convolution is over the group of rigid body motions of the plane, SE(2), we use the Fourier transform for SE(2) in order to convert the convolution into a matrix multiplication in the corresponding Fourier space. For practical implementation we use a Hermite-function-based image modeling technique, because Hermite expansions enable lossless Cartesian-polar coordinate conversion using the Laguerre-Fourier expansions, and Hermite expansion and Laguerre-Fourier expansion retain their structures under the Fourier transform. Based on these mathematical properties, we can obtain the deconvolution of the blurred class average using simple matrix multiplication. Tests of the proposed deconvolution method using synthetic and experimental EM images confirm the performance of our method.

Maskiton: Interactive, web-based classification of single-particle electron microscopy images.

Project description:Electron microscopy (EM) is an important tool for determining the composition, arrangement and structure of biological macromolecules. When studying structurally heterogeneous samples using EM, classification is a critical step toward achieving higher resolution and identifying biologically significant conformations. We have developed an interactive, web-based tool, called Maskiton, for creating custom masks and performing 2D classifications on aligned single-particle EM images. The Maskiton interface makes it considerably easier and faster to explore the significance of heterogeneity in single-particle datasets. Maskiton features include: resumable uploads to facilitate transfer of large datasets to the server, custom mask creation in the browser, continual progress updates, and interactive viewing of classification results. To demonstrate the value of this tool, we provide examples of its use on several experimental datasets and include analyses of the independent terminus mobility within the Ltn1 E3 ubiquitin ligase, the in vitro assembly of 30S ribosomal subunits, and classification complexity reduction within Immunoglobulin M. This work also serves as a proof-of-concept for the development of future cross-platform, interactive user interfaces for electron microscopy data processing.

The first annotated set of scanning electron microscopy images for nanoscience.

Project description:In this paper, we present the first publicly available human-annotated dataset of images obtained by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). A total of roughly 26,000 SEM images at the nanoscale are classified into 10 categories to form 4 labeled training sets, suited for image recognition tasks. The selected categories span the range of 0D objects such as particles, 1D nanowires and fibres, 2D films and coated surfaces as well as patterned surfaces, and 3D structures such as microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices and pillars. Additional categories such as tips and biological are also included to expand the spectrum of possible images. A preliminary degree of hierarchy is introduced, by creating a subtree structure for the categories and populating them with the available images, wherever possible.

Weighted average ensemble-based semantic segmentation in biological electron microscopy images.

Project description:Semantic segmentation of electron microscopy images using deep learning methods is a valuable tool for the detailed analysis of organelles and cell structures. However, these methods require a large amount of labeled ground truth data that is often unavailable. To address this limitation, we present a weighted average ensemble model that can automatically segment biological structures in electron microscopy images when trained with only a small dataset. Thus, we exploit the fact that a combination of diverse base-learners is able to outperform one single segmentation model. Our experiments with seven different biological electron microscopy datasets demonstrate quantitative and qualitative improvements. We show that the Grad-CAM method can be used to interpret and verify the prediction of our model. Compared with a standard U-Net, the performance of our method is superior for all tested datasets. Furthermore, our model leverages a limited number of labeled training data to segment the electron microscopy images and therefore has a high potential for automated biological applications.
