Machine Learning and Inverse Problems in Scientific Imaging

Zhizhen (Jane) Zhao, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

$Alterations of the nanoscale structure of live HeLa cells after chemical fixation, as observed using partial wave spectroscopic (PWS) optical microscopy.  Chemical fixation appears to alter the cellular nanoscale structure in addition to terminating its macromolecular remodeling.  These changes could not be detected using traditional modes of optical microscopy, being far smaller than the diffraction limit of visible light.$
