摘要:
荧光辐射差分显微成像是一种荧光染料普适性强、光毒性较低的超分辨成像技术。然而传统荧光辐射差分成像由于受其成像原理限制，系统复杂度较高、稳定性低且成像速度受限。针对上述问题，本文设计搭建了一套多色虚拟荧光差分显微系统，并对该系统的成像方法和参数间的制约关系进行了分析，基于已有的多色虚拟荧光辐射差分显微术原理，进一步考虑了信噪比和背景噪声等的影响，建立了可通过实验验证的虚拟荧光辐射差分显微成像模型。实验表明，本系统与方法具有结构简单、背景去噪能力强、荧光染料普适性强以及光毒性低等特性，成像分辨率较共聚焦系统提升了1.9倍，成像速度较传统的荧光辐射差分显微系统提升一倍，在3个波长上均获得了良好的成像效果，并在生物细胞成像中得到实验验证。
Abstract:Fluorescence emission difference microscopy is a super-resolution imaging technique with strong universality of fluorescent dyes and low phototoxicity. However, due to the limitation of its principle, traditional fluorescence emission difference microscopy has a high system complexity, low stability and limited imaging speed. In order to improve these defects, we design and build a set of multi-color virtual fluorescence difference microscopy system, and it’s imaging method and parameter are analyzed. On the basis of the existing principle of multi-color virtual fluorescence emission difference microscopy, the influence of the signal-to-noise ratio and background is further considered, and a virtual fluorescence emission difference microscopy imaging model that can be verified experimentally is established. The experiments show that the system and method have the characteristics of simple structure, strong background denoising ability, strong universality of fluorescent dyes, and low phototoxicity. Its imaging resolution is 1.9 times higher than that of confocal system, and its imaging speed is doubled compared to the traditional fluorescence emission difference microscopy system. It has obtained good imaging results at three wavelengths, and has been experimentally verified in biological cell imaging.
