Deep learning-based aberration compensation improves contrast and resolution in fluorescence microscopy by Min Guo, Yicong Wu, Chad M. Hobson, Yijun Su, Shuhao Qian, Eric Krueger, Ryan Christensen, Grant Kroeschell, Johnny Bui, Matthew Chaw, Lixia Zhang, Jiamin Liu, Xuekai Hou, Xiaofei Han, Zhiye Lu, Xuefei Ma, Alexander Zhovmer, Christian Combs, Mark Moyle, Eviatar Yemini, Huafeng Liu, Zhiyi Liu, Alexandre Benedetto, Patrick La Riviere, Daniel Colón-Ramos, Hari Shroff

“…We use simulations and experiments to show that applying the trained ‘de-aberration’ networks outperforms alternative methods, providing restoration on par with adaptive optics techniques; and subsequently apply the networks to diverse datasets captured with confocal, light-sheet, multi-photon, and super-resolution microscopy. In all cases, the improved quality of the restored data facilitates qualitative image inspection and improves downstream image quantitation, including orientational analysis of blood vessels in mouse tissue and improved membrane and nuclear segmentation in C. elegans embryos.…”
