Image scanning microscopy (ISM) improves the spatial resolution of conventional confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM), but current implementations reduce versatility and restrict its combination with fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, such as fluorescence lifetime. Here, we describe a natural design of ISM based on a fast single-photon detector array, which allows straightforward upgrade of an existing confocal microscope, without compromising any of its functionalities. In contrast to all-optical ISM implementations, our approach provides access to the raw scanned images, opening the way to adaptive reconstruction methods, capable of considering different imaging conditions and distortions. We demonstrate its utility in the context of fluorescence lifetime, deep, multicolor and live-cell imaging. This implementation will pave the way for a transparent and massive transition from conventional CLSM to ISM.confocal microscopy | time-resolved spectroscopy | image scanning microscopy | single-photon detector array

ABSTRACTTwo-photon excitation (2PE) microscopy is the imaging modality of choice, when one desires to work with thick biological samples, possibly in-vivo. However, the resolution in two-photon microscopy is poor, below confocal microscopy, and the lack of an optical pinhole becomes apparent in complex samples as reduced quality of optical sectioning. Here, we propose a straightforward implementation of 2PE image scanning microscopy (2PE-ISM) that, by leveraging our recently introduced ISM platform – based on a new single-photon avalanche diode array detector – coupled with a novel blind image reconstruction method, is shown to improve the optical resolution, as well as the overall image quality in various test samples. Most importantly, our 2PE-ISM implementation requires no calibration or other input from the user – it works like any old and familiar two-photon system, but simply produces higher resolution images (in real-time). Making the complexity disappear, in our view, is the biggest novelty here, and the key for making 2PE-ISM mainstream.

Image scanning microscopy based on pixel reassignment can improve the confocal resolution limit without losing the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greatly [C. J. R. Sheppard, “Super-resolution in confocal imaging,” Optik 80(2) 53–54 (1988). C. B. Müller, E. Jörg, “Image scanning microscopy, “Phys. Rev. Lett. 104(19) 198101 (2010). C. J. R. Sheppard, S. B. Mehta, R. Heintzmann, “Superresolution by image scanning microscopy using pixel reassignment,” Opt. Lett. 38(15) 2889–2892 (2013)]. Here, we use a tailor-made optical fiber and 19 avalanche photodiodes (APDs) as parallel detectors to upgrade our existing confocal microscopy, termed as parallel-detection super-resolution (PDSR) microscopy. In order to obtain the correct shift value, we use the normalized 2D cross correlation to calculate the shifting value of each image. We characterized our system performance by imaging fluorescence beads and applied this system to observing the 3D structure of biological specimen.
