• Abstract: In transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) systems, the rotation of a scanned sample might be restricted to a limited angular range to avoid collision to other system parts or high attenuation at certain tilting angles. Image reconstruction from such limited angle data suffers from artifacts due to missing data. In this work, deep learning is applied to limited angle reconstruction in TXMs for the first time. With the challenge to obtain sufficient real data for training, training a deep neural network from synthetic data is investigated. Particularly, the U-Net, the state-of-the-art neural network in biomedical imaging, is trained from synthetic ellipsoid data and multi-category data to reduce artifacts in filtered back-projection (FBP) reconstruction images. The proposed method is evaluated on synthetic data and real scanned chlorella data in $100^\circ$ limited angle tomography. For synthetic test data, the U-Net significantly reduces root-mean-square error (RMSE) from $2.55 \times 10^{-3}$ {\mu}m$^{-1}$ in the FBP reconstruction to $1.21 \times 10^{-3}$ {\mu}m$^{-1}$ in the U-Net reconstruction, and also improves structural similarity (SSIM) index from 0.625 to 0.920. With penalized weighted least square denoising of measured projections, the RMSE and SSIM are further improved to $1.16 \times 10^{-3}$ {\mu}m$^{-1}$ and 0.932, respectively. For real test data, the proposed method remarkably improves the 3-D visualization of the subcellular structures in the chlorella cell, which indicates its important value for nano-scale imaging in biology, nanoscience and materials science.

  We use angular clustering of luminous red galaxies from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) imaging surveys to constrain the local primordial non-Gaussianity parameter $fnl$. Our sample comprises over 12 million targets, covering 14,000 square degrees of the sky, with redshifts in the range 0.2 z 1.35$. We identify Galactic extinction, survey depth, and astronomical seeing as the primary sources of systematic error, and employ linear regression and artificial neural networks to alleviate non-cosmological excess clustering on large scales.

  We present a compressive sensing (CS) based approach to fully reconstruct 3D volumes with the same signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with less than half of the excitation dosage. We demonstrate our technique by capturing a 3D volume of the RFP labeled neurons in the zebrafish embryo spinal cord with the axial sampling of 0.1um using a confocal microscope. The developed CS-based methodology in this work can be easily applied to other deep imaging modalities such as two-photon and light-sheet microscopy, where reducing sample photo-toxicity is a critical challenge.
