Deep learning-based high-speed, large-field, and high-resolution multiphoton imaging

Multiphoton microscopy is a formidable tool for the pathological analysis of tumors. The physical limitations of imaging systems and the low efficiencies inherent in nonlinear processes have prevented the simultaneous achievement of high imaging speed and high resolution. We demonstrate a self-alignment dual-attention-guided residual-in-residual generative adversarial network trained with various multiphoton images. The network enhances image contrast and spatial resolution, suppresses noise, and scanning fringe artifacts, and eliminates the mutual exclusion between field of view, image quality, and imaging speed. The network may be integrated into commercial microscopes for large-scale, high-resolution, and low photobleaching studies of tumor environments.
