M.S. Paper Title: Understanding Cell Migration Using Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy

Abstract:

Light-sheet Fluorescent Microscopy (LSFM) is an emerging technology in embryology which allows for the tracking of cells in entire organisms as they develop—at larger sizes, greater resolution and with less photodamage than when compared with other methods. LSFMs produce large high-resolution 3D+t datasets; and when they are used to image organisms transfused with histone-GFP fusion protein, it is possible to obtain information about the migration of cells in the developing organism. However, any 3D microscopy technique suffers from reduced resolution due to scattering, especially at higher depths within the image—which confounds cell identification and tracking. We discuss methods to recover cell positions from greater z-depths of the microscope image; present a simple multiscale blob-based tracking strategy; and then discuss statistics that can be performed on the space of trajectories once they are computed.
