ABSTRACTOptimal analysis of single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) data acquired with a CMOS camera requires compensation for single pixel differences in gain, offset and readout noise. For some CMOS cameras we found that it is also necessary to compensate for pixel differences in sensitivity or relative quantum efficiency (RQE). We present the modifications to the original sCMOS analysis algorithm necessary to correct for these RQE differences. We also discuss the use of the Anscombe transform (AT) for variance stabilization. Removing the variance dependence on the mean allows simpler least squares fitting approaches to achieve the Cramer-Rao bound on the mixed Poisson and Gaussian distributed data typically acquired with an sCMOS camera.

Single Molecule Localization Microscopy

ABSTRACTSingle molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has enormous potential for resolving subcellular structures below the diffraction limit of light microscopy: Localization precision in the low digit nanometer regime has been shown to be achievable. In order to record localization microscopy data, however, sample fixation is inevitable to prevent molecular motion during the rather long recording times of minutes up to hours. Eventually, it turns out that preservation of the sample’s ultrastructure during fixation becomes the limiting factor. We propose here a workflow for data analysis, which is based on SMLM performed at cryogenic temperatures. Since molecular dipoles of the fluorophores are fixed at low temperatures, such an approach offers the possibility to use the orientation of the dipole as an additional information for image analysis. In particular, assignment of localizations to individual dye molecules becomes possible with high reliability. We quantitatively characterized the new approach based on the analysis of simulated oligomeric structures. Side lengths can be determined with a relative error of less than 1% for tetramers with a nominal side length of 5 nm, even if the assumed localization precision for single molecules is more than 2 nm.

AbstractSingle-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has the highest spatial resolution among the existing super-resolution (SR) imaging techniques, but its temporal resolution needs further improvement. An sCMOS camera can effectively increase the imaging rate due to its large field of view and fast imaging speed. Using an sCMOS camera for SMLM imaging can significantly improve the imaging time resolution, but the unique single pixel-dependent readout noise of sCMOS cameras severely limits their application in SMLM imaging. This paper develops a Hessian-based SMLM (Hessian-SMLM) method that can correct the variance, gain and offset of a single pixel of a camera and effectively eliminate the pixel-dependent readout noise of sCMOS cameras, especially when the signal-to-noise ratio is low. Using Hessian SMLM to image mEos3.2-labeled actin was able to significantly reduce the artifacts due to camera noise.

Novel insights and more powerful analytical tools can emerge from the reanalysis of existing data sets, especially via machine learning methods. Despite the widespread use of single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) for super-resolution bioimaging, the underlying data are often not publicly accessible. We developed ShareLoc (https://shareloc.xyz), an open platform designed to enable sharing, easy visualization and reanalysis of SMLM data. We discuss its features and show how data sharing can improve the performance and robustness of SMLM image reconstruction by deep learning.

AbstractThe resolution of super-resolution microscopy based on single molecule localization is in part determined by the accuracy of the localization algorithm. In most published approaches to date this localization is done by fitting an analytical function that approximates the point spread function (PSF) of the microscope. However, particularly for localization in 3D, analytical functions such as a Gaussian, which are computationally inexpensive, may not accurately capture the PSF shape leading to reduced fitting accuracy. On the other hand, analytical functions that can accurately capture the PSF shape, such as those based on pupil functions, can be computationally expensive. Here we investigate the use of cubic splines as an alternative fitting approach. We demonstrate that cubic splines can capture the shape of any PSF with high accuracy and that they can be used for fitting the PSF with only a 2-3x increase in computation time as compared to Gaussian fitting. We provide an open-source software package that measures the PSF of any microscope and uses the measured PSF to perform 3D single molecule localization microscopy analysis with reasonable accuracy and speed.
