Multiplane and Spectrally-Resolved Single Molecule Localization Microscopy with Industrial Grade CMOS cameras.

ABSTRACT: This work explores the use of industrial grade CMOS cameras for single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). We show that industrial grade CMOS cameras approach the performance of scientific grade CMOS cameras at a fraction of the cost. This makes it more economically feasible to construct high-performance imaging systems with multiple cameras that are capable of a diversity of applications. In particular we demonstrate the use of industrial CMOS cameras for biplane, multiplane and spectrally resolved SMLM. We also provide open-source software for simultaneous control of multiple CMOS cameras and for the reduction of the movies that are acquired to super-resolution images.

Characterization of an industry-grade CMOS camera well suited for single molecule localization microscopy - high performance super-resolution at low cost.

Project description:Many commercial as well as custom-built fluorescence microscopes use scientific-grade cameras that represent a substantial share of the instrument's cost. This holds particularly true for super-resolution localization microscopy where high demands are placed especially on the detector with respect to sensitivity, noise, and also image acquisition speed. Here, we present and carefully characterize an industry-grade CMOS camera as a cost-efficient alternative to commonly used scientific cameras. Direct experimental comparison of these two detector types shows widely similar performance for imaging by single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). Furthermore, high image acquisition speeds are demonstrated for the CMOS detector by ultra-fast SMLM imaging.

Correcting Artifacts in Single Molecule Localization Microscopy Analysis Arising from Pixel Quantum Efficiency Differences in sCMOS Cameras.

Project description:Optimal analysis of single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) data acquired with a scientific Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (sCMOS) camera relies on statistical compensation for its pixel-dependent gain, offset and readout noise. In this work we show that it is also necessary to compensate for differences in the relative quantum efficiency (RQE) of each pixel. We found differences in RQE on the order of 4% in our tested sCMOS sensors. These differences were large enough to have a noticeable effect on analysis algorithm results, as seen both in simulations and biological imaging data. We discuss how the RQE differences manifest themselves in the analysis results and present the modifications to the Poisson maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) sCMOS analysis algorithm that are needed to correct for the RQE differences.

Line-scanning microscopy for time-gated and spectrally resolved fluorescence imaging.

Project description:Laser-scanning fluorescence microscopy for efficient acquisition of time-gated and spectrally resolved fluorescence images was developed based on line illumination of the laser beam and detection of the fluorescence image through a slit. In this optical arrangement, the fluorescence image was obtained by scanning only one axis perpendicular to the excitation line, and the acquisition time was significantly reduced compared with conventional laser-scanning confocal microscopy. A multidimensional fluorescence dataset consisting of fluorescence intensities as a function of x-position, y-position, fluorescence wavelength, and delay time after photoexcitation was analyzed and decomposed based on the parallel factor analysis model. The performance of the line-scanning microscopy was examined by applying it to the analysis of one of the plant defense responses, accumulation of antimicrobial compounds of phytoalexin in oat (Avena sativa), induced by the elicitor treatment.

Measuring spectrally-resolved information transfer.

Project description:Information transfer, measured by transfer entropy, is a key component of distributed computation. It is therefore important to understand the pattern of information transfer in order to unravel the distributed computational algorithms of a system. Since in many natural systems distributed computation is thought to rely on rhythmic processes a frequency resolved measure of information transfer is highly desirable. Here, we present a novel algorithm, and its efficient implementation, to identify separately frequencies sending and receiving information in a network. Our approach relies on the invertible maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) for the creation of surrogate data in the computation of transfer entropy and entirely avoids filtering of the original signals. The approach thereby avoids well-known problems due to phase shifts or the ineffectiveness of filtering in the information theoretic setting. We also show that measuring frequency-resolved information transfer is a partial information decomposition problem that cannot be fully resolved to date and discuss the implications of this issue. Last, we evaluate the performance of our algorithm on simulated data and apply it to human magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings and to local field potential recordings in the ferret. In human MEG we demonstrate top-down information flow in temporal cortex from very high frequencies (above 100Hz) to both similarly high frequencies and to frequencies around 20Hz, i.e. a complex spectral configuration of cortical information transmission that has not been described before. In the ferret we show that the prefrontal cortex sends information at low frequencies (4-8 Hz) to early visual cortex (V1), while V1 receives the information at high frequencies (> 125 Hz).

Quantitative, spectrally-resolved intraoperative fluorescence imaging.

Project description:Intraoperative visual fluorescence imaging (vFI) has emerged as a promising aid to surgical guidance, but does not fully exploit the potential of the fluorescent agents that are currently available. Here, we introduce a quantitative fluorescence imaging (qFI) approach that converts spectrally-resolved data into images of absolute fluorophore concentration pixel-by-pixel across the surgical field of view (FOV). The resulting estimates are linear, accurate, and precise relative to true values, and spectral decomposition of multiple fluorophores is also achieved. Experiments with protoporphyrin IX in a glioma rodent model demonstrate in vivo quantitative and spectrally-resolved fluorescence imaging of infiltrating tumor margins for the first time. Moreover, we present images from human surgery which detect residual tumor not evident with state-of-the-art vFI. The wide-field qFI technique has broad implications for intraoperative surgical guidance because it provides near real-time quantitative assessment of multiple fluorescent biomarkers across the operative field.

Spectrally resolved multidepth fluorescence imaging.

Project description:We present a multicolor fluorescence imaging modality to visualize in real-time tissue structures emitting multispectral fluorescent light from different focal depths. Each designated spectrum of fluorescent emission from a specific depth within a volumetric tissue is probed by a depth-spectrum selective holographic grating. The grating for each fluorescent color are multiplexed within a volume hologram, which enables simultaneously obtaining multicolored fluorescent information at different depths within a biological tissue sample. We demonstrate the imaging modality's ability to obtain laser-induced multicolored fluorescence images of a biological sample from different depths without scanning. We also experimentally demonstrate that the imaging modality can be simultaneously operated at both fluorescent and bright field modes to provide complementary information of volumetric tissue structures at different depths in real-time.

Simultaneous multiplane imaging with reverberation two-photon microscopy.

Project description:Multiphoton microscopy has gained enormous popularity because of its unique capacity to provide high-resolution images from deep within scattering tissue. Here, we demonstrate video-rate multiplane imaging with two-photon microscopy by performing near-instantaneous axial scanning while maintaining three-dimensional micrometer-scale resolution. Our technique, termed reverberation microscopy, enables the monitoring of neuronal populations over large depth ranges and can be implemented as a simple add-on to a conventional design.

Switchable Fluorophores for Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy.

Project description:The past decade has witnessed an explosion in the use of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy methods in biology and other fields. Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is one of the most widespread of these methods and owes its success in large part to the ability to control the on-off state of fluorophores through various chemical, photochemical, or binding-unbinding mechanisms. We provide here a comprehensive overview of switchable fluorophores in SMLM including a detailed review of all major classes of SMLM fluorophores, and we also address strategies for labeling specimens, considerations for multichannel and live-cell imaging, potential pitfalls, and areas for future development.

Symmetrically dispersed spectroscopic single-molecule localization microscopy.

Project description:Spectroscopic single-molecule localization microscopy (sSMLM) was used to achieve simultaneous imaging and spectral analysis of single molecules for the first time. Current sSMLM fundamentally suffers from a reduced photon budget because the photons from individual stochastic emissions are divided into spatial and spectral channels. Therefore, both spatial localization and spectral analysis only use a portion of the total photons, leading to reduced precisions in both channels. To improve the spatial and spectral precisions, we present symmetrically dispersed sSMLM, or SDsSMLM, to fully utilize all photons from individual stochastic emissions in both spatial and spectral channels. SDsSMLM achieved 10-nm spatial and 0.8-nm spectral precisions at a total photon budget of 1000. Compared with the existing sSMLM using a 1:3 splitting ratio between spatial and spectral channels, SDsSMLM improved the spatial and spectral precisions by 42% and 10%, respectively, under the same photon budget. We also demonstrated multicolour imaging of fixed cells and three-dimensional single-particle tracking using SDsSMLM. SDsSMLM enables more precise spectroscopic single-molecule analysis in broader cell biology and material science applications.

Spatial mapping of tracheal ciliary beat frequency using real time phase-resolved Doppler spectrally encoded interferometric microscopy.

Project description:Ciliary motion in the upper airway is the primary mechanism by which the body transports foreign particulates out of the respiratory system in order to maintain proper respiratory function. The ciliary beating frequency (CBF) is often disrupted with the onset of disease as well as other conditions, such as changes in temperature or in response to drug administration. Current imaging of ciliary motion relies on microscopy and high-speed cameras, which cannot be easily adapted to in-vivo imaging. M-mode optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is capable of visualization of ciliary activity, but the field of view is limited. We report on the development of a spectrally encoded interferometric microscopy (SEIM) system using a phase-resolved Doppler (PRD) algorithm to measure and map the ciliary beating frequency within an en face region. This novel high speed, high resolution system allows for visualization of both temporal and spatial ciliary motion patterns as well as propagation of metachronal wave. Rabbit tracheal CBF ranging from 9 to 13 Hz has been observed under different temperature conditions, and the effects of using lidocaine and albuterol have also been measured. This study is the stepping stone to in-vivo studies and the translation of imaging spatial CBF to clinics.
