Multifocal imaging systems and method
a multi-focal imaging and imaging system technology, applied in the field of multi-focal imaging systems and methods, can solve the problems of reducing the resolution of the resulting image, affecting the usefulness of tissue images, and cross-talk that can occur, so as to achieve fast imaging of the material
Image
Examples
case 1
[0165] The normalized inverse of this intensity image (from a uniform fluorescent dye) is multiplied with the yx images taken of the sample. The resulting images are then displayed and saved as a normalized image.
case 2
[0166] A large number of images from a sample at various positions (and thus with a random underlying intensity structure) is averaged. This image is then inversed and normalized. This image is multiplied with the original data is then displayed and saved as a normalized image.
case 3
[0167] A simplified image is generated which consists of 36 sub-images (generated by the 6×6 foci). Each of the sub-images carries the average intensity generated by the specific foci. For example, all 32×32 pixels in the top left sub image carry the same number; 45. The image is then inversed and normalized. This image multiplied with the original data is then displayed and saved as a normalized image. An image can be generated either from the intensity image generated by the process of case 1 (fluorescent image) or case 2 (over many images averaged). 3D xyz image normalization is carried out in a similar fashion as in case 2 of the xy image normalization. A z-intensity profile (an example is FIG. 28b) is generated by averaging the intensity signal the xy planes form different positions in z. As the penetration depth increases, the average intensity decreases along the z-axis. In order to get a good average intensity for the z-intensity profile, images from a sample at various pos...
