Unwanted background fluorescence in microscopy can occur when light from fluorescent structures scatters against nearby tissues. Bright cell bodies produce haze that mask nearby dim structures, including neuronal fibers. We have developed a method to eliminate this haze by fitting it to a simple function. This method enables clearer post-imaging visualization of axons in our in vivo imaging of neurons.
We are investigating ways to increase the computation speed of our background fitting technique to allow for real-time image improvement. The implementation of our method in real-time imaging will broaden the potential applications of this fitting method.
