• Abstract: Volume electron microscopy (vEM) enables nanoscale 3D imaging of biological structures but remains constrained by acquisition trade-offs, leading to anisotropic volumes with limited axial resolution. Existing deep learning methods seek to restore isotropy by leveraging lateral priors, yet their assumptions break down for morphologically anisotropic structures. We present EMGauss, a general framework for 3D reconstruction from planar scanned 2D slices with applications in vEM, which circumvents the inherent limitations of isotropy-based approaches. Our key innovation is to reframe slice-to-3D reconstruction as a 3D dynamic scene rendering problem based on Gaussian splatting, where the progression of axial slices is modeled as the temporal evolution of 2D Gaussian point clouds. To enhance fidelity in data-sparse regimes, we incorporate a Teacher-Student bootstrapping mechanism that uses high-confidence predictions on unobserved slices as pseudo-supervisory signals. Compared with diffusion- and GAN-based reconstruction methods, EMGauss substantially improves interpolation quality, enables continuous slice synthesis, and eliminates the need for large-scale pretraining. Beyond vEM, it potentially provides a generalizable slice-to-3D solution across diverse imaging domains.

  We propose a novel optical flow based approach to enhance the axial resolution of anisotropic 3D EM volumes to achieve isotropic 3D reconstruction.

  Training a learning-based 3D super-resolution model requires ground truth isotropic volumes and suffers from the curse of dimensionality. Existing methods utilize 2D neural networks to reconstruct each axial slice, eventually piecing together the entire volume. We present a reconstruction framework based on implicit neural representation (INR), which allows 3D coherency even when optimized by independent axial slices.

  Cryo-EM is an increasingly popular method for determining the atomic resolution 3D structure of macromolecular complexes. Recent developments in cryo-EM have focused on deep learning for which amortized inference has been used to predict pose. Here, we propose a new semi-amortized method, cryoSPIN, in which reconstruction begins with amortized inference and then switches to a form of auto-decoding.
