Gpu Deconvolution Wow Result On 2048x2048x32 Plane Z-Series, George Mcnamara Jun 2015

Gpu Deconvolution Wow Result On 2048x2048x32 Plane Z-Series, George Mcnamara

George McNamara

GPU Deconvolution WOW result on 2048x2048x32 plane Z-series ... formerly bad academic code ("you get what you pay for") now impressive

Alternative title: "instant gratification quantitative deconvolution fluorescence microscopy".

for 32-bit images from this project (bepress file size limitation prevented me from including them in this ZIP archive).

//

Summary: Deconvolution microscopy has historically been painfully slow. The early vendors were:

- Scanalytics (Carrington and Fay), commercialized to try to sell expensive, specialized array processors made by CSPI (the CSPI box likely had less computing power than a first gen smartphone).

- Applied Precision (Sedat …

Light Microscopy Reflection Focusing Cells And Coverglass, George Mcnamara

George McNamara

Light Microscopy Reflection Focusing Cells and Coverglass 20150520Wed

Many light microscopes have the capability of using camera based brightfield, phase contrast, or fluorescence to find the most contrasty specimen focus. When I worked for UIC (1992-1997) we offered this with a combination of Ludl MAC2000 controller, Z-drive, video card thingy, and video camera (most customers at the time used analog video cameras).

Many automated light microscopes now have clever -- and pricey -- autofocus systems based on an NIR LED structured illumination reflecting light off the bottom of the coverglass.

I encourage a simpler approach - my hardware details are …

slide):

1. Push the QuickScan button on the front of the Pathscan Enabler.

2. Click the Scan button in the QuickScan pop-up application (optional: change scan area in the Prescan image window).

The image gets saved as a TIFF file to the Windows 7 (64-bit) desktop.

Robert Murphy's TypIC (typical cell Chooser,

http://murphylab.web.cmu.edu/services/TypIC/

now superseded by PSLID and SLIF

http://murphylab.web.cmu.edu/services/ ), was a "game changer" for me with respect to cell shape analysis. Rather than trying to compute the average of (say) a triangle and a pentagon ... which might result in a square, or a rectange, or some bizarre quadrilateral ... R.M. advocated using the median. OK, in a 2 member dataset this would result in averaging the two shapes (if use the standard way to calculate median of even number datasets), but this could be avoided …

Hamamatsu FLASH4.0 dark reference images, acquired with 10 second exposure times, no light to camera. Camera offset (set by Hamamatsu( is ~100 (the average intensity of the first image is always ~1 intensity level higher - an odd feature, but trivial in practice for a 16-bit camera).
