This research proposes a deep learning-based resolution enhancement strategy for near-infrared II (NIR-II, 900?1880 nm) fluorescence imaging, which effectively overcomes the physical limitations of pixel quantity and size of InGaAs and HgCdTe detectors through fine-tuning the Real-ESRGAN super-resolution network model. The effectiveness of this method is validated in three typical scenarios: NIR-II whole-body vascular imaging in mice, multi-scene imaging in the NIR-IIc band, and NIR-II clinical application in diabetic foot assessment. The fine-tuned model significantly outperformed traditional bilinear and bicubic interpolation methods in both perception-based image quality evaluator (PIQE) and spatial resolution indicator—full width at half maximum (FWHM). Notably, the model demonstrated its capability to enhance the resolution of images with similar visual features, even when tested on untrained data from the NIR-IIc band, such as images of the mouse abdomens, intestines, and legs. This technology provides a new solution for high-quality NIR-II biomedical imaging, particularly offering clearer vascular visualization tools for clinical diagnosis, which is expected to play an important role in NIR-II fluorescence-guided clinical surgery.
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) serves as a versatile technique for quantifying intermolecular interactions by measuring the energy transfer between donor and acceptor molecules. In this work, a free-addressing FRET technique based on fluorescence lifetime measurements is proposed. Within the framework of a dual-color confocal microscopy, this method utilizes two galvanometric scanners to freely address a focused light to any locations on a sample and uses a time-correlated single photon counting board to capture the trigger signals from the scanners, and the arrival times of photons relative to previous laser pulses. Consequently, the fluorescence lifetime at any region of interest within the field-of-view can be obtained. Once the fluorescent lifetimes of donor fluorophores before and after bleaching the acceptor fluorophores are determined, the FRET efficiency at the targeted site can be further calculated. Compared with the traditional intensity-based FRET measurement method, this approach does not require special calibration operations and significantly reduces measurement times from minutes to milliseconds. We can envisage that the proposed technique can be widely applied to life science, medical diagnosis, materials science, and so on.
Traditional optical property measurement techniques typically rely on complex detection systems and are easily affected by environmental disturbances. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a low?cost and disturbance?resistant single?image inversion method for two?layer dental optical properties, achieved by integrating physical priors with a deep learning fusion framework. By modeling the optical transmission process within the tooth structure, the optical properties of teeth inversion network (OPTNet) is proposed, which preserves multi?layer features through residual concatenation and incorporates a spatial attention mechanism to focus on critical diffuse reflectance regions, thereby enabling precise prediction from a single image. Natural teeth are collected and corresponding restorative samples are fabricated, an optical acquisition system is then assembled to capture the surface light distributions of these samples, thereby constructing the clinical reflectance dataset. On clean clinical samples, the proposed method achieves an average relative error (MRE) below 0.2% and a coefficient of determination (R2) above 0.99. To evaluate robustness, tests are also conducted on samples with measurement noises. Results show that, OPTNet reduces the MRE of the reduced scattering coefficient and absorption coefficient by 55.08% and 72.38% compared to a fully connected network (FCN), respectively, and by 43.01% and 46.77% compared to a traditional convolutional neural network (CNN), respectively. The proposed physics-prior-driven deep learning approach for biophysical measurement achieves high-precision inversion of dental optical properties without requiring complex optical instrumentation, offering a novel solution for tooth color matching and customized restorative treatments.
Impulsive stimulated Brillouin scattering (ISBS) spectroscopy is a recently developed non-contact optical measurement technique widely used for studying the viscoelastic properties of biological tissues and materials. To improve spectral extraction accuracy and sensitivity under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, this study proposes the application of dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) for analyzing ISBS time-domain signals. The DMD method constructs a Hankel matrix from the time-domain signal and extracts its dominant modal features, enabling precise extraction of the Brillouin frequency shift. By simulating various models including single-peak, closely spaced dual-peak, and weak-signal components, this study systematically compares the performance of DMD with the adaptive noise-suppression matrix pencil (ANMP) method under different SNRs. The results demonstrate that the DMD method outperforms ANMP in frequency estimation accuracy, spectral resolution, and weak-component sensitivity, making it particularly suitable for Brillouin signal analysis in complex environments. This approach provides a more stable and efficient spectral analysis tool for ISBS measurement systems under low-SNR conditions and for multicomponent material characterization.
Two-photon light sheet microscopy is widely used in biomedical related fields due to its advantages of high spatio-temporal resolution and low phototoxicity and photobleaching. However, due to the scattering and absorption of excitation light and fluorescence by biological samples, the quality of deep imaging of samples is poor, and it is difficult to realize large-sample, high-throughput imaging due to the narrow sample operating space of traditional light sheet microscopy. To address the above problems, we optimized the spatial layout of the light sheet microscopy system and combined it with a near-infrared II excitation light source, and at the same time, we used an axicon to modulate the ordinary Gaussian illumination beam into a Bessel beam, which achieved a wide range of thin-sheet illumination by virtue of its non-diffractive properties, and finally constructed an open-top two-photon light sheet imaging system based on non-diffractive Bessel beam. The lateral and axial resolutions of the system are (1.85 ± 0.09) μm and (3.23 ± 0.32) μm, respectively, and the field of view is greater than 600 μm, achieving three-dimensional high-resolution imaging. The experiment completed deep tissue imaging of acute kidney injury mice, obtained a large amount of vascular structural information, which facilitates the revelation of pathological changes in acute kidney injury tissues. The experimental results not only contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury, but also provide a reference basis for future clinical diagnosis and treatment, validating the potential of open-top near-infrared II Bessel two-photon light-sheet microscopy for three-dimensional pathological evaluation.
