  • 多焦点结构光照明显微技术(multifocal structured illumination microscopy, MSIM)能在50 ?m的成像深度内和1Hz的成像速度下实现两倍于衍射极限分辨率的提升,相比传统的宽场结构光照明显微技术,具有较大的成像深度和层析能力,更适合应用于厚样品的长时程三维超分辨成像。然而,MSIM存在成像速度慢、图像处理过程复杂等问题。本文提出了一种基于平场复用多焦点结构光照明的快速超分辨显微成像方法和系统(flat-field multiplexed MSIM, FM-MSIM),通过在照明光路中插入光束整形器件,将高斯光束转变为均为分布的平顶光束,提高激发点阵的强度均匀性和扩大视场;通过将每个衍射受限的激发点沿y方向延长,形成新的多路复用多焦点阵照明图案,提高能量利用率,减少扫描步数,进而提高成像速度和信噪比;结合基于多重测量矢量模型的稀疏贝叶斯学习图像重构算法,简化图像重构步骤,在保证空间分辨率的同时实现至少4倍于传统MSIM的成像速度。在此基础上,利用搭建的FM-MSIM系统进行了BSC细胞微管样片和小鼠肾切片标准样片的超分辨成像实验,实验结果证明了该系统的快速三维超分辨成像能力,对于MSIM的发展具有重要的意义。

     

    Multifocal structured illumination microscopy (MSIM) can achieve optically sectioned images with twice the diffraction limited resolution at 1 Hz imaging speed and at imaging depths up to 50 ?m. Compared with the traditional wide-field SIM, MSIM has greater imaging depth and optical sectionning ability, it is more suitable for long-term 3D super-resolution imaging of living thick samples. However, MSIM has some problems, such as slow imaging speed and complex image post-processing process. In this paper, a fast super-resolution imaging method and system based on flat-field multiplexed MSIM (FM-MSIM) is proposed. By inserting a beam shaping device into the illumination light path, the Gaussian beam is reshaped into a uniform flat-top profile, so as to improve the intensity uniformity of excitation multi-spot focal array and expand the field of view; By elongating each diffraction limited excitation focal point four times along the Y direction to form a new multiplexed multifocal array pattern, reduce the number of scanning steps, improve the energy utilization, and then improve the imaging speed and signal-to-noise ratio. Combined with the sparse Bayesian learning image reconstruction algorithm based on multiple measurement vector model, the image reconstruction steps are simplified, At least 4 times of the imaging speed can be improved while ensuring the spatial resolution of MSIM. On this basis, the established FM-MSIM system is used to carry out the super-resolution imaging experiments of BSC cell microtubule samples and mouse kidney slices. The experimental results prove the fast three-dimensional super-resolution imaging ability of the system, which is of great significance for the development of fast MSIM.
