SEM3De: image restoration for FIB-SEM.

Project description:MotivationFIB-SEM (Focused Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscopy) is a technique to generate 3D images of samples up to several microns in depth. The principle is based on the alternate use of SEM to image the surface of the sample (a few nanometers thickness) and of FIB to mill the surface of the sample a few nanometers at the time. In this way, huge stacks of images can thus be acquired.Although this technique has proven useful in imaging biological systems, the presence of some visual artifacts (stripes due to sample milling, detector saturation, charge effects, focus or sample drift, etc.) still raises some challenges for image interpretation and analyses.ResultsWith the aim of meeting these challenges, we developed a freeware (SEM3De) that either corrects artifacts with state-of-the-art approaches or, when artifacts are impossible to correct, enables the replacement of artifactual slices by an in-painted image created from adjacent non-artifactual slices. Thus, SEM3De improves the overall usability of FIB-SEM acquisitions.Availability and implementationSEM3De can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sem3de/ as a plugin for ImageJ.

Enhanced FIB-SEM systems for large-volume 3D imaging.

Project description:Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) can automatically generate 3D images with superior z-axis resolution, yielding data that needs minimal image registration and related post-processing. Obstacles blocking wider adoption of FIB-SEM include slow imaging speed and lack of long-term system stability, which caps the maximum possible acquisition volume. Here, we present techniques that accelerate image acquisition while greatly improving FIB-SEM reliability, allowing the system to operate for months and generating continuously imaged volumes > 106 µm3. These volumes are large enough for connectomics, where the excellent z resolution can help in tracing of small neuronal processes and accelerate the tedious and time-consuming human proofreading effort. Even higher resolution can be achieved on smaller volumes. We present example data sets from mammalian neural tissue, Drosophila brain, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to illustrate the power of this novel high-resolution technique to address questions in both connectomics and cell biology.

Human cardiac telocytes: 3D imaging by FIB-SEM tomography.

Project description:Telocyte (TC) is a newly identified type of cell in the cardiac interstitium (www.telocytes.com). TCs are described by classical transmission electron microscopy as cells with very thin and long telopodes (Tps; cellular prolongations) having podoms (dilations) and podomers (very thin segments). TCs' three-dimensional (3D) morphology is still unknown. Cardiac TCs seem to be particularly involved in long and short distance intercellular signalling and, therefore, their 3D architecture is important for understanding their spatial connections. Using focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) we show, for the first time, the whole ultrastructural anatomy of cardiac TCs. 3D reconstruction of cardiac TCs by FIB-SEM tomography confirms that they have long, narrow but flattened (ribbon-like) telopodes, with humps generated by the podoms. FIB-SEM tomography also confirms the network made by TCs in the cardiac interstitium through adherens junctions. This study provides the first FIB-SEM tomography of a human cell type.

Cryo-plasma FIB/SEM volume imaging of biological specimens.

Project description:Serial focussed ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) enables imaging and assessment of subcellular structures on the mesoscale (10 nm to 10 µm). When applied to vitrified samples, serial FIB/SEM is also a means to target specific structures in cells and tissues while maintaining constituents' hydration shells for in situ structural biology downstream. However, the application of serial FIB/SEM imaging of non-stained cryogenic biological samples is limited due to low contrast, curtaining, and charging artefacts. We address these challenges using a cryogenic plasma FIB/SEM. We evaluated the choice of plasma ion source and imaging regimes to produce high-quality SEM images of a range of different biological samples. Using an automated workflow we produced three-dimensional volumes of bacteria, human cells, and tissue, and calculated estimates for their resolution, typically achieving 20-50 nm. Additionally, a tag-free localisation tool for regions of interest is needed to drive the application of in situ structural biology towards tissue. The combination of serial FIB/SEM with plasma-based ion sources promises a framework for targeting specific features in bulk-frozen samples (>100 µm) to produce lamellae for cryogenic electron tomography.
