ZOLA-3D allows flexible 3D localization microscopy over an adjustable axial range.

ABSTRACT: Single molecule localization microscopy can generate 3D super-resolution images without scanning by leveraging the axial variations of normal or engineered point spread functions (PSF). Successful implementation of these approaches for extended axial ranges remains, however, challenging. We present Zernike Optimized Localization Approach in 3D (ZOLA-3D), an easy-to-use computational and optical solution that achieves optimal resolution over a tunable axial range. We use ZOLA-3D to demonstrate 3D super-resolution imaging of mitochondria, nuclear pores and microtubules in entire nuclei or cells up to ~5??m deep.

Tuning axial and lateral localization precision in 3D super-resolution microscopy with variable astigmatism.

Project description:Astigmatism imaging is a three-dimensional (3D) single molecule fluorescence microscopy approach that yields super-resolved spatial information on a rapid time scale from a single image. It is ideally suited for resolving structures on a sub-micrometer scale and temporal behavior in the millisecond regime. While traditional astigmatism imaging utilizes a cylindrical lens, adaptive optics enables the astigmatism to be tuned for the experiment. We demonstrate here how the precisions in x, y, and z are inter-linked and vary with the astigmatism, z-position, and photon level. This experimentally driven and verified approach provides a guide for astigmatism selection in biological imaging strategies.

Estimating the dynamic range of quantitative single-molecule localization microscopy.

Project description:In recent years, there have been significant advances in quantifying molecule copy number and protein stoichiometry with single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). However, as the density of fluorophores per diffraction-limited spot increases, distinguishing between detection events from different fluorophores becomes progressively more difficult, affecting the accuracy of such measurements. Although essential to the design of quantitative experiments, the dynamic range of SMLM counting techniques has not yet been studied in detail. Here, we provide a working definition of the dynamic range for quantitative SMLM in terms of the relative number of missed localizations or blinks and explore the photophysical and experimental parameters that affect it. We begin with a simple two-state model of blinking fluorophores, then extend the model to incorporate photobleaching and temporal binning by the detection camera. From these models, we first show that our estimates of the dynamic range agree with realistic simulations of the photoswitching. We find that the dynamic range scales inversely with the duty cycle when counting both blinks and localizations. Finally, we validate our theoretical approach on direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) data sets of photoswitching Alexa Fluor 647 dyes. Our results should help guide researchers in designing and implementing SMLM-based molecular counting experiments.

Direct supercritical angle localization microscopy for nanometer 3D superresolution.

Project description:3D single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is an emerging superresolution method for structural cell biology, as it allows probing precise positions of proteins in cellular structures. In supercritical angle localization microscopy (SALM), z-positions of single fluorophores are extracted from the intensity of supercritical angle fluorescence, which strongly depends on their distance to the coverslip. Here, we realize the full potential of SALM and improve its z-resolution by more than four-fold compared to the state-of-the-art by directly splitting supercritical and undercritical emission, using an ultra-high NA objective, and applying fitting routines to extract precise intensities of single emitters. We demonstrate nanometer isotropic localization precision on DNA origami structures, and on clathrin coated vesicles and microtubules in cells, illustrating the potential of SALM for cell biology.

Accelerating 3D single-molecule localization microscopy using blind sparse inpainting.

Project description:Single-molecule localization-based super-resolution microscopy has enabled the imaging of microscopic objects beyond the diffraction limit. However, this technique is limited by the requirements of imaging an extremely large number of frames of biological samples to generate a super-resolution image, thus requiring a longer acquisition time. Additionally, the processing of such a large image sequence leads to longer data processing time. Therefore, accelerating image acquisition and processing in single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has been of perennial interest. To accelerate three-dimensional (3D) SMLM imaging by leveraging a computational approach without compromising the resolution. We used blind sparse inpainting to reconstruct high-density 3D images from low-density ones. The low-density images are generated using much fewer frames than usually needed, thus requiring a shorter acquisition and processing time. Therefore, our technique will accelerate 3D SMLM without changing the existing standard SMLM hardware system and labeling protocol. The performance of the blind sparse inpainting was evaluated on both simulation and experimental datasets. Superior reconstruction results of 3D SMLM images using up to 10-fold fewer frames in simulation and up to 50-fold fewer frames in experimental data were achieved. We demonstrate the feasibility of fast 3D SMLM imaging leveraging a computational approach to reduce the number of acquired frames. We anticipate our technique will enable future real-time live-cell 3D imaging to investigate complex nanoscopic biological structures and their functions.

DeepSTORM3D: dense 3D localization microscopy and PSF design by deep learning.

Project description:An outstanding challenge in single-molecule localization microscopy is the accurate and precise localization of individual point emitters in three dimensions in densely labeled samples. One established approach for three-dimensional single-molecule localization is point-spread-function (PSF) engineering, in which the PSF is engineered to vary distinctively with emitter depth using additional optical elements. However, images of dense emitters, which are desirable for improving temporal resolution, pose a challenge for algorithmic localization of engineered PSFs, due to lateral overlap of the emitter PSFs. Here we train a neural network to localize multiple emitters with densely overlapping Tetrapod PSFs over a large axial range. We then use the network to design the optimal PSF for the multi-emitter case. We demonstrate our approach experimentally with super-resolution reconstructions of mitochondria and volumetric imaging of fluorescently labeled telomeres in cells. Our approach, DeepSTORM3D, enables the study of biological processes in whole cells at timescales that are rarely explored in localization microscopy.

3D particle averaging and detection of macromolecular symmetry in localization microscopy.

Project description:Single molecule localization microscopy offers in principle resolution down to the molecular level, but in practice this is limited primarily by incomplete fluorescent labeling of the structure. This missing information can be completed by merging information from many structurally identical particles. In this work, we present an approach for 3D single particle analysis in localization microscopy which hugely increases signal-to-noise ratio and resolution and enables determining the symmetry groups of macromolecular complexes. Our method does not require a structural template, and handles anisotropic localization uncertainties. We demonstrate 3D reconstructions of DNA-origami tetrahedrons, Nup96 and Nup107 subcomplexes of the nuclear pore complex acquired using multiple single molecule localization microscopy techniques, with their structural symmetry deducted from the data.

Intravital three-photon microscopy allows visualization over the entire depth of mouse lymph nodes.

Project description:Intravital confocal microscopy and two-photon microscopy are powerful tools to explore the dynamic behavior of immune cells in mouse lymph nodes (LNs), with penetration depth of ~100 and ~300 μm, respectively. Here, we used intravital three-photon microscopy to visualize the popliteal LN through its entire depth (600-900 μm). We determined the laser average power and pulse energy that caused measurable perturbation in lymphocyte migration. Long-wavelength three-photon imaging within permissible parameters was able to image the entire LN vasculature in vivo and measure CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cell motility in the T cell zone over the entire depth of the LN. We observed that the motility of naive CD4+ T cells in the T cell zone during lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation was dependent on depth. As such, intravital three-photon microscopy had the potential to examine immune cell behavior in the deeper regions of the LN in vivo.

Axial plane optical microscopy.

Project description:We present axial plane optical microscopy (APOM) that can, in contrast to conventional microscopy, directly image a sample's cross-section parallel to the optical axis of an objective lens without scanning. APOM combined with conventional microscopy simultaneously provides two orthogonal images of a 3D sample. More importantly, APOM uses only a single lens near the sample to achieve selective-plane illumination microscopy, as we demonstrated by three-dimensional (3D) imaging of fluorescent pollens and brain slices. This technique allows fast, high-contrast, and convenient 3D imaging of structures that are hundreds of microns beneath the surfaces of large biological tissues.

Introducing Diinamic, a flexible and robust method for clustering analysis in single-molecule localization microscopy.

Project description:Super-resolution microscopy allowed major improvements in our capacity to describe and explain biological organization at the nanoscale. Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) uses the positions of molecules to create super-resolved images, but it can also provide new insights into the organization of molecules through appropriate pointillistic analyses that fully exploit the sparse nature of SMLM data. However, the main drawback of SMLM is the lack of analytical tools easily applicable to the diverse types of data that can arise from biological samples. Typically, a cloud of detections may be a cluster of molecules or not depending on the local density of detections, but also on the size of molecules themselves, the labeling technique, the photo-physics of the fluorophore, and the imaging conditions. We aimed to set an easy-to-use clustering analysis protocol adaptable to different types of data. Here, we introduce Diinamic, which combines different density-based analyses and optional thresholding to facilitate the detection of clusters. On simulated or real SMLM data, Diinamic correctly identified clusters of different sizes and densities, being performant even in noisy datasets with multiple detections per fluorophore. It also detected subdomains ("nanodomains") in clusters with non-homogeneous distribution of detections.
