AbstractThe orientation and wobbling behavior of the fluorescent dipoles are of great significance in revealing the structure and state of cells. Due to the poor optical sectioning capability of wide-field microscopy, the polarization modulation signals are susceptible to the neighboring fluorophores. The missing cone of wide field optical transfer function induces vast out-of-focus background, resulting in biased polarization orientation and decrease polarization factor. Here, we apply polarized structured illumination to achieve polarization modulation imaging with optical sectioning, and simultaneously measure the lipid polarity with two-color ratiometric imaging. Our results demonstrate a significant increase in measurement accuracy of not only the dipole orientations but also the wobbling behavior of the ensemble dipole. Compared to the conventional confocal polarization imaging, our method obtains an order-of-magnitude faster imaging speed, capturing the fast dynamics of subcellular structures in live cells.

Abstract Super-resolved structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) is among the fastest fluorescence microscopy techniques capable of surpassing the optical diffraction limit. Current custom-build instruments are able to deliver two-fold resolution enhancement with high acquisition speed. SR-SIM is usually a two-step process, with raw-data acquisition and subsequent, time-consuming post-processing for image reconstruction. In contrast, wide-field and (multi-spot) confocal techniques produce high-resolution images instantly. Such immediacy is also possible with SR-SIM, by tight integration of a video-rate capable SIM with fast reconstruction software. Here we present instant SR-SIM by VIGOR (Video-rate Immediate GPU-accelerated Open-Source Reconstruction). We demonstrate multi-color SR-SIM at video frame-rates, with less than 250 ms delay between measurement and reconstructed image display. This is achieved by modifying and extending high-speed SR-SIM image acquisition with a new, GPU-enhanced, network-enabled image-reconstruction software. We demonstrate high-speed surveying of biological samples in multiple colors and live imaging of moving mitochondria as an example of intracellular dynamics.

In vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) has been considered as a promising technique for visualizing the mammals. However, the definition of the NIR-II region and the mechanism accounting for the excellent performance still need to be perfected. Herein, we simulated bioimaging in the NIR spectral range (to 2340 nm), confirmed the positive contribution of moderate light absorption by water in intravital imaging and perfected the NIR-II window as 900-1880 nm, where the 1400-1500 nm was defined as NIR-IIx region and the 1700-1880 nm was defined as NIR-IIc region, respectively. Moreover, the 2080-2340 nm was newly proposed as the third near-infrared (NIR-III) window, which was believed to provide the best imaging quality. The wide-field fluorescence microscopy in brain, in addition, was performed around NIR-IIx region with excellent optical sectioning strength and the largest imaging depth of in vivo NIR-II fluorescence microscopy to date. We also proposed 1400 nm long-pass detection in off-peak NIR-II imaging whose profits exceeded those of NIR-IIb imaging, using bright fluorophores with short peak emission wavelength.
