Title: High-speed in vivo calcium recording using structured illumination with self-supervised denoising
High-speed widefield fluorescence imaging of neural activity in vivo is fundamentally limited by fluctuations in recorded signal due to background contamination and stochastic noise. In this study, we show background and shot noise-reduced imaging of the ultrafast genetically encoded Ca2+indicator GCaMP8f in CA1 pyramidal neurons using periodic structured illumination (SI) with computational image reconstruction. We implement what we believe to be a novel reconstruction method for data acquired using periodic structured illumination, termed pseudo-HiLo (pHiLo), that combines a pseudo-widefield (pWF) reconstruction with individual SI frames to perform a HiLo reconstruction. We compare this new technique to interleaved optical sectioning structured illumination microscopy (OS-SIM) and pWF reconstruction. We quantify the performance of each reconstruction by evaluating contrast, transient peak-to-noise ratio (PNR), pairwise correlation coefficients between ΔF/F time courses extracted from individual in-focus cells, and correlation coefficients between each cell with surrounding cell-free background pixels. We additionally incorporate a self-supervised deep learning method for real-time noise suppression (DeepCAD-RT) into our data preprocessing pipeline. At 500 Hz frame rates, we demonstrate a 75% increase in PNR using the denoised pHiLo reconstruction compared to pWF. Utilizing DeepCAD-RT, we show significant PNR improvements using both structured illumination (SI) reconstruction methods with OS-SIM showing a 59% increase in PNR after denoising. Both pHiLo and OS-SIM reconstructions result in a ≈65% decrease in the mean correlation coefficient of the ΔF/F time courses between ROIs in comparison with pWF, indicating the potential to remove background fluorescent transients from out-of-focus cells.  more » « less

    We utilize periodic structured illumination with pseudo-HiLo (pHiLo) image reconstruction for in vivo voltage imaging. We demonstrate reduced signal from out-of-focus cells, which contaminates voltage activity for in-focus cells of interest, with pHiLo compared to traditional widefield recordings taken with uniform illumination and pseudo-widefield (pWF) reconstructions. We compare spike peak-to-noise ratio (PNR) and cell-background correlation for time courses extracted using pHiLo and soma-targeted widefield illumination (TI). We discuss tradeoffs between out-of-focus light reduction, signal-to-noise ratio, and temporal resolution for pHiLo in the context of high-speed voltage imaging in awake mice.

    Optical sectioning structured illumination microscopy (OS-SIM) provides optical sectioning capability in wide-field microscopy. The required illumination patterns have traditionally been generated using spatial light modulators (SLM), laser interference patterns, or digital micromirror devices (DMDs) which are too complex to implement in miniscope systems. MicroLEDs have emerged as an alternative light source for patterned illumination due to their extreme brightness capability and small emitter sizes. This paper presents a directly addressable striped microLED microdisplay with 100 rows on a flexible cable (70 cm long) for use as an OS-SIM light source in a benchtop setup. The overall design of the microdisplay is described in detail with luminance-current-voltage characterization. OS-SIM implementation with a benchtop setup shows the optical sectioning capability of the system by imaging within a 500 µm thick fixed brain slice from a transgenic mouse where oligodendrocytes are labeled with a green fluorescent protein (GFP). Results show improved contrast in reconstructed optically sectioned images of 86.92% (OS-SIM) compared with 44.31% (pseudo-widefield). MicroLED based OS-SIM therefore offers a new capability for deep tissue widefield imaging.

    We utilize pseudo-HiLo (pHiLo) for voltage imaging in awake mice expressing Voltron2552 in parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the somatosensory cortex. We demonstrate increased signal-to-background ratio using pHiLo compared to traditional widefield neural recording.

    Abstract Mapping 3D plasma membrane topology in live cells can bring unprecedented insights into cell biology. Widefield-based super-resolution methods such as 3D-structured illumination microscopy (3D-SIM) can achieve twice the axial ( ~ 300 nm) and lateral ( ~ 100 nm) resolution of widefield microscopy in real time in live cells. However, twice-resolution enhancement cannot sufficiently visualize nanoscale fine structures of the plasma membrane. Axial interferometry methods including fluorescence light interference contrast microscopy and its derivatives (e.g., scanning angle interference microscopy) can determine nanoscale axial locations of proteins on and near the plasma membrane. Thus, by combining super-resolution lateral imaging of 2D-SIM with axial interferometry, we developed multi-angle-crossing structured illumination microscopy (MAxSIM) to generate multiple incident angles by fast, optoelectronic creation of diffraction patterns. Axial localization accuracy can be enhanced by placing cells on a bottom glass substrate, locating a custom height-controlled mirror (HCM) at a fixed axial position above the glass substrate, and optimizing the height reconstruction algorithm for noisy experimental data. The HCM also enables imaging of both the apical and basal surfaces of a cell. MAxSIM with HCM offers high-fidelity nanoscale 3D topological mapping of cell plasma membranes with near-real-time ( ~ 0.5 Hz) imaging of live cells and 3D single-molecule tracking.
