Eliminating Stripe Artifacts in Light-Sheet Fluorescence Imaging

Abstract

We report two techniques to mitigate stripe artifacts in light-sheet fluorescence imaging. The first uses an image processing algorithm called the multidirectional stripe remover (MDSR) method to filter stripes from an existing image. The second uses an elliptical holographic diffuser (EHD) with strong scattering anisotropy to prevent stripe formation during image acquisition. These techniques facilitate accurate interpretation of image data, especially in denser samples. They are also facile and cost-effective.
