Abstract: Abstract BioimagingBioimaging is an immensely powerful tool in biomedical research that aids the understanding of cellular structures and the molecular events in the cell. Understanding the biological functions within the cell requires an in-depth understanding of all the diverse functions of the microscopic structures and the molecular interactions between macromolecules in their natural environment. Traditionally, cell biologists have used light microscopy techniques to study topographical characterization of cell surfaces. The optical properties of a light microscope give occasion to a blurring phenomenon similar to the one with a conventional microscope with the result that images are characterized by low resolution and magnification. We address the challenging task of enhancing the image produced by a light microscope by reconstructing a stack of monoscopic images from a light microscope to produce a single image with inferential and useful information than that obtained at the best focus level. We believe such an approach will enable a wider base of microscope users to take advantage of light microscope imaging in biological research.
