X-ray phase contrast imaging is an emerging imaging modality for industrial inspections and biomedical applications. In this study, a polycapillary semilens was used to improve the contrast-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed images and reduce unnecessary radiation in other areas.
X-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) is an emerging imaging modality for industrial inspections and biomedical applications. A polycapillary semilens is utilized in the grating-based XPCI to reduce the imaging time or improve the image quality of the reconstructed images in this work. The proposed system is proved to be effective for improving the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the reconstructed images compared with using an aperture diaphragm in the system under the same exposure time. The polycapillary semilens concentrates the X-rays on the region of interest (ROI) of the sample, which reduces the unnecessary radiation in other areas.

Fast generation of arbitrary optical focus array

Xin Liu, Yiwen Hu, Shijie Tu, Cuifang Kuang, Xu Liu, Xiang Hao

Summary: We propose a novel method for generating arbitrary optical focus arrays (OFAs), which uses computer-generated holograms (CGHs) to control the positions and intensities of the foci. By replacing the fast Fourier transform (FFT) operation in the conventional iterative Fourier-transform algorithm (IFTA) with a linear algebra one, removing zero elements from matrices, and employing a generalized weighting strategy, we achieve >70 times faster calculation speed and demonstrate OFAs with 99% intensity precision in the experiment. Our method is effective for real-time OFA generation in essential systems.

Resolution and contrast enhancement in weighted subtraction microscopy by deep learning

Yuxuan Qiu, Wei Chen, Yuran Huang, Yueshu Xu, Yile Sun, Tao Jiang, Zhimin Zhang, Longhua Tang, Xiang Hao, Cuifang Kuang, Xu Liu

Summary: In subtraction microscopy, the difference between Gaussian and doughnut point spread functions (PSFs) leads to negative sidelobes and information loss. This trade-off hampers the improvement in performance. Our proposed Deep-IWS algorithm based on deep learning assigns subtractive coefficients adaptively, leading to 1.8 times higher resolution than confocal microscopy and fewer artifacts with higher SNR in reconstructed images.

Optimizing triangle mesh lenses for non-uniform illumination with an extended source

Linpei Li, Xiang Hao

Summary: Precise control of irradiance distribution is a complicated problem for freeform lens design. Simplified assumptions about light sources and surface smoothness can limit design performance. We developed an efficient proxy for Monte Carlo ray tracing under extended sources using triangle mesh freeform surfaces. Our designs showed finer irradiance control compared to LightTools. One lens was fabricated and performed as expected in an experiment.

High-speed spatially re-modulated structured illumination microscopy

Shijie Tu, Xiaoyan Li, Yueying Wang, Wenwen Gong, Xin Liu, Q. Liu, Yubing Han, Cuifang Kuang, Xu Liu, Xiang Hao

Summary: We propose a method to accelerate SIM imaging by combining the spatial re-modulation principle with Fourier domain filtering and using measured illumination patterns. Our method enables high-speed, high-quality imaging of dense subcellular structures without phase estimation of the patterns. The method is also applicable to other spatially uncorrelated illumination patterns.

Summary: X-ray phase contrast imaging is a promising technique that provides enhanced contrast in soft tissues compared to traditional x-ray attenuation-contrast imaging. This study proposes a mesh-based x-ray phase contrast imaging method with one hexagonal mesh for easy alignment and better image visualization. The hexagonal mesh outperforms the traditional square mesh in image evaluation metrics performance and false color visualization with the same radiation dose, showing its feasibility in real imaging systems and advantages in quantitive imaging and better visualization.

Estimation-free spatial-domain image reconstruction of structured illumination microscopy

Xiaoyan Li, Shijie Tu, Yile Sun, Yubing Han, Xiang Hao, Cuifang Kuang, Xu Liu

Summary: Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) achieves super-resolution (SR) by modulating high-frequency information and reconstructing images. Traditional reconstruction algorithms require parameter estimation, which is time-consuming and sensitive to noise and aberration. We propose a spatial-domain method that calculates patterns and covariance to obtain reconstructed images, demonstrating SR capability, high speed, and robustness to aberration and noise in various samples.

Siwei Tao, Ling Bai, Zonghan Tian, Yueshu Xu, Xiang Hao, Cuifang Kuang, Xu Liu

Summary: X-ray grating interferometer can simultaneously retrieve various signals of imaged sample. However, the mechanical instability of the system can cause reconstruction failure and severe artifacts. To improve the image quality, a multifrequency model and novel iterative image reconstruction methods are proposed. The results show that the proposed methods are effective in retrieving high-quality signals and improving image quality, making them potential techniques for trimodal CBCT reconstruction.

Research Progress and Prospect of Adaptive Optics Based on Deep Learning

Yiwen Hu, Xin Liu, Cuifang Kuang, Xu Liu, Xiang Hao

Summary: Adaptive optics (AC) multiplexing technology improves imaging quality by manipulating and sensing light waves. It is widely used in telecommunications, medical imaging, and astronomy. It can be divided into single-channel and phase-diversity techniques. Single-channel methods capture images using a single intensity, but accuracy is limited. Phase-diversity methods collect imaging information from different planes, yielding higher accuracy. The combination of deep learning and adaptive optics is expected to overcome limitations of traditional techniques and improve wavefront correction speed and accuracy.

Summary: Fluorescence emission difference microscopy (FED) uses deep learning enhancement technique based on cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) to improve the spatial resolution of microscopic images. This method effectively avoids information loss, enhances signal-to-noise ratio, and avoids the photo-bleaching effect. The validity of DL-FED has been demonstrated through simulations and experiments, and it has the potential to achieve high-speed imaging and can be widely applied in live cell research.
