SOFI-MISGRU is a supervised deep learning model designed to accelerate second-order Super-resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging (SOFI). Our model can reconstruct super-resolved SOFI images using just 20 frames while maintaining a two-fold improvement in spatial resolution. This reduces the usual requirement of hundreds of frames, enabling real-time temporal resolution of up to 4.85 fps for dynamic live-cell imaging. This project has been driven by Miyase Tekpinar and Jelle Komen.
We adapted The MATLAB based SOFI simulation tool and modified it to more accurately represent noise, background effects, and biological patterns (mitochondria, microtubules)[1]. To account for electronic noise, a gain and standard deviation map of the sCMOS camera used in our experimental setup was generated and incorporated into the simulation .

Multiplane microscopy images several focal planes of a sample simultaneously by splitting the fluorescence emission onto different regions of one or more camera sensors. The raw frames therefore contain a tiled mosaic of planes that are shifted, slightly rotated and scaled with respect to each other, imaged at different effective transmission, and recorded in an order that is not known a priori. mp_proc is our Python toolbox that calibrates a multiplane setup from a bead z-stack and turns the raw acquisitions into ready-to-use, co-registered image stacks.
