3D analysis of biological samples using focused ion beam electron microscopy
Petrovský, Jan ; Sobola, Dinara (referee) ; Hrubanová,, Kamila (advisor)
Understanding the three-dimensional information inside biological microscopic structures is easier and more intuitive than a set of two-dimensional images. The aim of this thesis is to create a 3D model of the bacterium Rubrum rhodospirillum that allows the observation of structural changes with respect to the whole experiment. To successfully image the cells, it is essential to fix their ultrastructures. In our case, chemical fixation followed by heavy metal staining and embedding in resin is used. The final acquisition of a good quality dataset for the creation of the three-dimensional model is preceded by the optimization of the image acquisition parameters. Emphasis is placed on the parameters of the electron and ion beam used. In this work, several different microscope settings are tested and compared and their influence on the final image is examined. Subsequently, several datasets are imaged using the software Auto Slice and View 4 and then whole cells and PHB granules inside these cells are segmented. From this modified data, a 3D model of the bacteria in the studied volume was created using selected reconstruction techniques.
