Abstract
En 中文
Superresolution microscopy techniques based on the sequential activation of fluorophores can achieve image resolution of similar to 10 nm but require a sparse distribution of simultaneously activated fluorophores in the field of view. Image analysis procedures for this approach typically discard data from crowded molecules with overlapping images, wasting valuable image information that is only partly degraded by overlap. A data analysis method that exploits all available fluorescence data, regardless of overlap, could increase the number of molecules processed per frame and thereby accelerate superresolution imaging speed, enabling the study of fast, dynamic biological processes. Here, we present a computational method, referred to as deconvolution-STORM (deconSTORM), which uses iterative image deconvolution in place of single- or multiemitter localization to estimate the sample. DeconSTORM approximates the maximum likelihood sample estimate under a realistic statistical model of fluorescence microscopy movies comprising numerous frames. The model incorporates Poisson-distributed photon-detection noise, the sparse spatial distribution of activated fluorophores, and temporal correlations between consecutive movie frames arising from intermittent fluorophore activation. We first quantitatively validated this approach with simulated fluorescence data and showed that deconSTORM accurately estimates superresolution images even at high densities of activated fluorophores where analysis by single-or multiemitter localization methods fails. We then applied the method to experimental data of cellular structures and demonstrated that deconSTORM enables an approximately fivefold or greater increase in imaging speed by allowing a higher density of activated fluorophores/frame.
