Patent number: 12204086Abstract: A method is used to generate a distortion model for a structured illumination microscopy (SIM) optical system. A sliding window is moved in relation to a plurality of images to define a plurality of sub-tiles. Each sub-tile represents a portion of the corresponding image. Parameters are estimated for each sub-tiles. The parameters include two or more parameters selected from the group consisting of modulation, angle, spacing, phase offset, and phase deviation. A full width at half maximum (FWHM) value associated with each sub-tile is estimated. A distortion model is estimated, based at least in part on a combination of the estimated parameters and FWHM values stored in the predetermined format and an estimated center window parameter. A two-dimensional image may be generated, based at least in part on the estimated distortion model. The two-dimensional image may include representations indicating where distortions occur in the optical system.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2023Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: ILLUMINA, INC.Inventors: Robert Langlois, Bo Lu, Hongji Ren, Joseph Pinto, Simon Prince, Austin Corbett

Patent number: 11885953Abstract: A method is used to generate a report presenting parameter values corresponding to a structured illumination microscopy (SIM) optical system. The parameter values are based at least in part on the performed modulation calculation corresponding to an image set captured with the SIM optical system. A minimum FWHM slice is identified, based at least in part on an average FWHM value across the images in the first image set. Parameter estimation is performed on the identified minimum FWHM slice. Best in-focus parameters are identified based at least in part on the performed estimation. A phase estimate is performed for each image in the set. A modulation calculation is performed based at least in part on the identified best in-focus parameters. The report is based at least in part on the performed modulation calculation.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: ILLUMINA, INC.Inventors: Austin Corbett, Bo Lu, Robert Langlois, Joseph Pinto, Yu Chen, Peter Newman, Hongji Ren
