Abstract

A new method of resolution enhancement in optical microscopy using the method of spatial subpixel shifts, i.e., shifts by some amount less than the resolution provided by the lens are considered. The resolution of optical microscopes is determined by the type of used lenses. Professional microscopes have a set of microlenses with different magnifications, which are mounted on turrets containing several lenses. Sometimes, it makes more sense to use one lens instead of a set of microlenses if it is possible to provide subpixel shifts. An increase in spatial resolution is carried out using the subpixel shift technique. In this case, the spectrum of the feature is supplemented by a multiplier, the type of which depends on the type of lens aperture. To obtain high-resolution features, it is necessary to divide the Fourier spectrum of an image obtained from several subpixel-shifted images by a factor depending on the selected aperture. This factor is called the aperture function. The aperture function is determined by the type of used lens and can be its nameplate value. An experimental method for calibrating a lens (obtaining its aperture function) with low resolution (\(8\times\)) based on images obtained with higher resolution lenses (\(40\times\)) is shown. Once the aperture function is defined, one low-resolution lens can be used to produce images at any resolution less than the resolution of the selected high-resolution lens (\(40\times\)).

利用子像素移动提高光学显微镜分辨率
摘要 研究了一种在光学显微镜中提高分辨率的新方法,该方法采用空间亚像素移动法,即移动量小于镜头提供的分辨率。光学显微镜的分辨率由所用镜头的类型决定。专业显微镜有一组不同放大倍率的微透镜,安装在包含多个透镜的转塔上。有时,如果可以实现亚像素移动,使用一个镜头而不是一组微透镜会更有意义。亚像素移动技术可以提高空间分辨率。在这种情况下,特征的光谱由乘法器补充,乘法器的类型取决于透镜孔径的类型。要获得高分辨率的特征,必须将从多个子像素位移图像中获得的图像傅立叶频谱除以一个取决于所选光圈的系数。这个系数被称为孔径函数。光圈函数由所用镜头的类型决定,可以是其铭牌值。图中展示了一种根据较高分辨率镜头(40 倍)获得的图像来校准低分辨率镜头(8 倍)(获得其光圈函数)的实验方法。一旦确定了孔径函数,就可以使用一个低分辨率镜头以低于所选高分辨率镜头((40 次))分辨率的任何分辨率生成图像。
