The measuring principle is briefly discussed in comparison with the laser Doppler method. The basic properties of the photon correlation measurements including reproducibility were experimentally investigated with a rotating ground glass disk and for the normal human retina. The error was estimated to be less than 20% for in vivo measurements. By using a glass capillary model, the reciprocal of correlation time was calibrated to the mean flow velocity with a consideration of the effects of the vessel diameter and the background reflectance. The blood flow volume rate in the human retina was estimated by using the calibrated velocity and the vessel diameter. The results compared well with those reported in the literature, and show the usefulness of this flowmetry for clinical diagnostic purposes.","PeriodicalId":100176,"journal":{"name":"Bioimaging","volume":"5 1","pages":"254-267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89638506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measurements of the two-photon excitation point-spread function (PSF) of a 1.4 aperture oil immersion lens are carried out by imaging fluorescence beads with a diameter of one seventh of the excitation wavelength (830 nm) and subsequent deconvolution with the bead object function. The proposed method of resolution increase is applied to beads as well as to rhodamine labelled actin fibres in mouse fibroblast cells. As the resolution improvement is not based on the non-linear effect of two-photon excitation, the results imply a comparable resolution increase in single-photon excitation confocal microscopy. In the fibroblasts, we established a three-fold improvement in axial resolution, namely from 840 nm before, to 280 nm after restoration (full-width at half-maximum). Actin fibres with axial distances of 850 nm, otherwise difficult to discern, are fully separated. In the lateral direction, images of fluorescence beads of about 110 nm diameter are restored to the real dimensions of the beads with an accuracy of better than one pixel (41 nm).","PeriodicalId":100176,"journal":{"name":"Bioimaging","volume":"42 1","pages":"187-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81519678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
