3D Deconvolution module

 

 
The 3D Deconvolution module adds a 3D deblurring and an image restoration algorithm to SlideBook. The nearest neighbor and constrained iterative deconvolution algorithms have been optimized for speed and performance. The module includes an interactive guide for measuring point spread functions (PSF) and a PSF database. The database can store multiple PSFs for each configuration, allowing easy selection of the appropriate PSF.

Nearest Neighbors Deconvolution

Our Nearest Neighbors deconvolution is a rapid way to “deblur” fluorescence data. The algorithm uses the plane above and below the plane of interest to compute and subtract the fraction of the data that is out-of-focus information.

Constrained Iterative Deconvolution

Our Constrained Iterative (CI) deconvolution is a true image restoration tool. Based on the algorithm developed by David Agard at UCSF, our CI deconvolution can quantitatively reassign out-of-focus information in 3-D data while improving both axial and lateral data resolution.

 

 
The module can use either measured point-spread functions (PSFs) or computed PSFs when measured PSFs are unavailable. The module includes a PSF collection guide and a PSF database. Given SlideBook’s knowledge of image collection optics, the correct PSF can automatically be applied to CI deconvolution without user assistance.

With SlideBook 4.0, CI deconvolution includes extensive speed improvements taking full advantage of advances in computational algorithms, multiple processors and hardware acceleration for both Macintosh and Windows platforms. CI deconvolution has been improved so that it can handle deconvolution of very large data sets (up to 350 MB per wavelength for a system with 2 GB RAM). In addition, CI deconvolution now includes a number of advanced user options to compensate for a variety of imaging conditions, from single cells to tissue sections, so that an optimal deconvolution can be achieved for a particular experiment.

 

FRET / Ratio / Densitometry (FRD) module

This module is specifically designed to handle data that is only meaningful in the context of other data. Examples of such data are FRET where the data are represented as a percentage of a donor molecule or FURA-2 where the data is meaningful as the ratio of emissions of two separate excitations.
The FRD module for SlideBook™ 4.0 is the first commercially available software specifically designed for FRET analysis. This revolutionary software was developed in collaboration with a number of leading biologists whose laboratories focus on FRET. The FRET module contains analysis tools for both sensitized emission FRET and acceptor photobleaching FRET. These tools include:
  • Channel Bleedthrough Calculation
  • Background Subtraction
  • Corrected FRET Image Generation (Herman Equation)
  • Single Pixel to Whole Object Energy Transfer Measurement
  • Support for 2-D, 3-D and 4-D Data
The module can be combined with image capture and other on-line modules for real-time FRET analysis. In addition, SlideBook™ supports dual camera capture and the Multi-Spec Microimager device from Optical Insights for true real-time FRET image acquisition

The measurement of free ion concentrations in living cells provides insight into cellular processes such as activation and compartmentalization. Ratiometric ion indicators change their excitation or emission profiles when bound to specific ions. These indicators allow the real-time measurement of ion concentrations in living cells. :This module supports a wide array of ion indicators including FURA-2, Indo-1 and BCECF. The module includes a variety of specific features including:

  • Real-time ratio computation
  • Real-time graphing of ratios and/or raw channels
  • Real-time tracking of up to 20 ROI
  • Simultaneous imaging of two ratio indicators
  • Calibration guide for computing nM calcium concentration by pixel
  • Analytical Graphing tools

Particle Tracking Module

The evolution of digital microscopy has placed increasing emphasis on the quantitative information contained within collected images. The Statistics Engine for SlideBook™ has been completely reworked for version 4.0 to provide researchers with a complete suite of analytical tools specifically designed for quantifying data from microscopes.

The new Statistics Engine includes:

  • Plug-in architecture for end-user writable features
  • Automatic methods for generating and storing statistics to aid in gathering large amounts of data
  • Advanced clustering techniques to help define populations of objects and images
  • Many new statistics, including cross-channel colocalization and skeleton-based features
The all new 4D analysis and particle tracking module for SlideBook 4.0 contains powerful tools tracking individual 3D objects in 4-D datasets. The particle tracking engine is based on individual object paths. Individual objects will have a unique path through time and can therefore be followed.The particle tracking module can also correlate objects with respect to one another and generate statistics about each object at each time-point.

Object paths can be traced either automatically using computational algorithms or through manual delineation. The particle tracking module also offers complete flexibility for combining both automated and manual tools to optimize path detection for any given sample.

Once object paths have been traced, there are a variety of visualization tools to help explore the objects. In the OpenGL-based 3DpathView, for example, an individual path can be selected and individually rendered over time. This rendering can be rotated freely and played as a movie (in either direction) or in single frame increments. As users explore the data, they can manipulate the path, either to prune a split/merge as objects move, or get statistics for a given object.

The statistics generated by the particle tracker include everything from velocity and acceleration of objects to a description of randomness of an object's motion. These statistics can be automatically generated for all objects/paths or statistics can be generated on a path-by-path basis. In addition, all delineations, processes and analyses in the particle tracker are automatable. Each step in the tracking scheme can be stored and retrieved from a methods database, so that a series of commands can be easily written and retrieved for use in future experiments.

 

Multi-Well Plate Module

 

SlideBook™ 4.0 features a new, easy-to-use lpate reading module. This module enables SlideBook™ to capture data from a wide range of multi-well plates, including 24, 96, and 384-well plates.

This module gives the researcher complete control over all imaging parameters. An expirement can include any combination of SlideBook™-supported imaging modes, including multi-spectral fluorescence and combination fluorescence/transmitted light imaging. In addition, this module includes an optimized auofocus algorithm to ensure high quality image data. The researcher can select the range of wells to be images, along with the location and number of images to be taken per well. These parameters can be saved as a template, making it fast and easy to image multiple plates under identical conditions.

SlideBook 4.0 是最具企圖心的軟體, 其功能幾乎涵蓋 UIC MetaMorph MetaFluor 以上. 同時, 也包括許多 Leica FW4000 軟體的優點. 除了上面所列的功能外, 尚有許多選配功能供選用. 從今年 5 月引進台灣起, 已在國內一些單位獲得數套訂單 ( 如台大醫學院, 陽明大學 ... ). 您只要提出您的應用需求, 我們就會盡全力去提供令您滿意的結果.

建議您搭配使用 Leica 新一代的微電腦控制數位顯微鏡 DM 4000B, DM 5000 B, 或者, Leica DM LA, DM RA2 ( 正立 ), 倒立顯微鏡建議使用 DM IRE 2.
