Optimal 2D-SIM reconstruction by two filtering steps with Richardson-Lucy deconvolution.

ABSTRACT: Structured illumination microscopy relies on reconstruction algorithms to yield super-resolution images. Artifacts can arise in the reconstruction and affect the image quality. Current reconstruction methods involve a parametrized apodization function and a Wiener filter. Empirically tuning the parameters in these functions can minimize artifacts, but such an approach is subjective and produces volatile results. We present a robust and objective method that yields optimal results by two straightforward filtering steps with Richardson-Lucy-based deconvolutions. We provide a resource to identify artifacts in 2D-SIM images by analyzing two main reasons for artifacts, out-of-focus background and a fluctuating reconstruction spectrum. We show how the filtering steps improve images of test specimens, microtubules, yeast and mammalian cells.

Feature Extraction of 3T3 Fibroblast Microtubule Based on Discrete Wavelet Transform and Lucy-Richardson Deconvolution Methods.

Project description:Accompanied by the increasing requirements of the probing micro/nanoscopic structures of biological samples, various image-processing algorithms have been developed for visualization or to facilitate data analysis. However, it remains challenging to enhance both the signal-to-noise ratio and image resolution using a single algorithm. In this investigation, we propose a composite image processing method by combining discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the Lucy-Richardson (LR) deconvolution method, termed the DWDC method. Our results demonstrate that the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution of live cells' microtubule networks are considerably improved, allowing the recognition of features as small as 120 nm. The method shows robustness in processing the high-noise images of filament-like biological structures, e.g., the cytoskeleton networks captured by fluorescent microscopes.

Two-dimensional TIRF-SIM-traction force microscopy (2D TIRF-SIM-TFM).

Project description:Quantifying small, rapidly evolving forces generated by cells is a major challenge for the understanding of biomechanics and mechanobiology in health and disease. Traction force microscopy remains one of the most broadly applied force probing technologies but typically restricts itself to slow events over seconds and micron-scale displacements. Here, we improve >2-fold spatially and >10-fold temporally the resolution of planar cellular force probing compared to its related conventional modalities by combining fast two-dimensional total internal reflection fluorescence super-resolution structured illumination microscopy and traction force microscopy. This live-cell 2D TIRF-SIM-TFM methodology offers a combination of spatio-temporal resolution enhancement relevant to forces on the nano- and sub-second scales, opening up new aspects of mechanobiology to analysis.

High-Resolution Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation Data Evaluation via Richardson-Lucy-Based Fractogram Correction.

Project description:Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) is a chromatographic separation technique that can be used for a broad range of particles or macromolecules. As an orthogonal method to size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with a much broader separation size range (1-800 nm) AF4 is gaining importance. However, the data evaluation capacities are far behind in comparison to other techniques like analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). A program for evaluation of data from AF4 with a coupled multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) detector was developed that allows the determination of the distributions of diffusion coefficients ( D), hydrodynamic radii ( Rh), molecular weights ( Mw), and relative concentrations (RC) of the obtained species. In addition, two algorithms to remove broadening effects via deconvolution were implemented and tested for their validity. The first is an extension of the known diffusion broadening correction applying the entire diffusion coefficient distribution instead of a single diffusion coefficient. The second applies the Richardson-Lucy algorithm for the deconvolution of overlapping signals from stars in astronomy. This program allows a reproducible strong enhancement of the fractogram resolution allowing for entire baseline separations of proteins. The comparison of the values for Mw determined by a partial Zimm plot from each data point of the original fractogram and the deconvolved results shows that especially the Richardson-Lucy algorithm maintains a high degree of data robustness.

Deconvolution of two-dimensional NMR spectra by fast maximum likelihood reconstruction: application to quantitative metabolomics.

Project description:We have developed an algorithm called fast maximum likelihood reconstruction (FMLR) that performs spectral deconvolution of 1D-2D NMR spectra for the purpose of accurate signal quantification. FMLR constructs the simplest time-domain model (e.g., the model with the fewest number of signals and parameters) whose frequency spectrum matches the visible regions of the spectrum obtained from identical Fourier processing of the acquired data. We describe the application of FMLR to quantitative metabolomics and demonstrate the accuracy of the method by analysis of complex, synthetic mixtures of metabolites and liver extracts. The algorithm demonstrates greater accuracy (0.5-5.0% error) than peak height analysis and peak integral analysis with greatly reduced operator intervention. FMLR has been implemented in a Java-based framework that is available for download on multiple platforms and is interoperable with popular NMR display and processing software. Two-dimensional (1)H-(13)C spectra of mixtures can be acquired with acquisition times of 15 min and analyzed by FMLR in the range of 2-5 min per spectrum to identify and quantify constituents present at concentrations of 0.2 mM or greater.

Deconvolution of breast tumors for optimal chemotherapy selection

Project description:Extensive work in pre-clinical models has shown that microenvironmental cells influence many aspects of cancer cell behavior including metastatic potential and their sensitivity to therapeutics. In the human setting, this behavior is mainly correlated with the presence of immune cells, whilst the relevance of other cell types have been largely ignored. Here, in addition to T cells, B cells, macrophages and mast cells, we identified the relevance of non-immune cell types for breast cancer survival and therapy benefit, including fibroblast, myoepithelial cells, muscle cells, endothelial cells, and 7 distinct epithelial cell types. Using single-cell sequencing data, we generated reference profiles for all these cell types. We used these reference profiles in deconvolution algorithms to optimally detangle the cellular composition of over 3500 primary breast tumors of patients that were enrolled in the SCAN-B and MATADOR clinical trials, and for which bulk mRNA sequencing data was available. This large data set enables us to identify and subsequently validate the cellular composition of microenvironments that distinguish differential survival and treatment benefit for different treatment regiments in primary breast cancer patients.

Na-Faraday rotation filtering: the optimal point.

Project description:Narrow-band optical filtering is required in many spectroscopy applications to suppress unwanted background light. One example is quantum communication where the fidelity is often limited by the performance of the optical filters. This limitation can be circumvented by utilizing the GHz-wide features of a Doppler broadened atomic gas. The anomalous dispersion of atomic vapours enables spectral filtering. These, so-called, Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filters (FADOFs) can be by far better than any commercial filter in terms of bandwidth, transition edge and peak transmission. We present a theoretical and experimental study on the transmission properties of a sodium vapour based FADOF with the aim to find the best combination of optical rotation and intrinsic loss. The relevant parameters, such as magnetic field, temperature, the related optical depth, and polarization state are discussed. The non-trivial interplay of these quantities defines the net performance of the filter. We determine analytically the optimal working conditions, such as transmission and the signal to background ratio and validate the results experimentally. We find a single global optimum for one specific optical path length of the filter. This can now be applied to spectroscopy, guide star applications, or sensing.

Spherical deconvolution improves quality of single particle reconstruction.

Project description:One single-particle reconstruction technique is the reconstruction of macromolecules from projection images of randomly oriented particles (SPRR). In SPRR the reliability and consequent interpretation of the final reconstruction is affected by errors arising from incorrect assignment of projection angles to individual particles. In order to improve the resolution of SPRR we studied the influence of imperfect assignment on 3D blurring. We find that this blurring can be described as a Point Spread Function (PSF) that depends on the distance from geometrical center of the reconstructed volume and that blurring is higher at the periphery. This particular PSF can be described by an almost pure tangential angular function with a negligible radial component. We have developed a reliable algorithm for spherical deconvolution of the 3D reconstruction. This spherical deconvolution operation was tested on reconstructions of GroEL and mitochondrial ribosomes. We show that spherical deconvolution improves the quality of SPRR by reducing blurring and enhancing high frequency components, particularly near the periphery of the reconstruction.

BioFET-SIM web interface: implementation and two applications.

Project description:We present a web interface which allows us to conveniently set up calculations based on the BioFET-SIM model. With the interface, the signal of a BioFET sensor can be calculated depending on its parameters, as well as the signal dependence on pH. As an illustration, two case studies are presented. In the first case, a generic peptide with opposite charges on both ends is inverted in orientation on a semiconducting nanowire surface leading to a corresponding change in sign of the computed sensitivity of the device. In the second case, the binding of an antibody/antigen complex on the nanowire surface is studied in terms of orientation and analyte/nanowire surface distance. We demonstrate how the BioFET-SIM web interface can aid in the understanding of experimental data and postulate alternative ways of antibody/antigen orientation on the nanowire surface.
