Combinations of spectroscopic analysis and microscopic techniques are used across many disciplines of scientific research, including material science, chemistry and biology. X-ray spectromicroscopy, in particular, is a powerful tool used for studying chemical state distributions at the micro and nano scales. With the beam fixed, a specimen is typically rastered through the probe with continuous motion and a range of multimodal data is collected at fixed time intervals. The application of this technique is limited in some areas due to: long scanning times to collect the data, either because of the area/volume under study or the compositional properties of the specimen; and material degradation due to the dose absorbed during the measurement. In this work, we propose a novel approach for reducing the dose and scanning times by undersampling the raster data. This is achieved by skipping rows within scans and reconstructing the x-ray spectromicroscopic measurements using low-rank matrix completion. The new method is robust and allows for 5 to 6-fold reduction in sampling. Experimental results obtained on real data are illustrated.

We address the problem of limited temporal resolution in optical-resolution microscopy (OR-PAM) for cellular imaging by undersampling and reconstruction. A curvelet transform method in a compressed sensing framework (CS-CVT) was devised to specifically reconstruct the boundary and separability of cell objects in an image. The performance of the CS-CVT approach was justified by comparisons with the natural neighbor interpolation (NNI) followed by smoothing filters on various imaging objects.

A wide range of reconstruction methods exist nowadays to retrieve data from their undersampled acquisition schemes. In the context of Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM), compressed sensing methods successfully demonstrated the ability to retrieve crystalline lattice images from undersampled electron micrographs. In this manuscript, an alternative method is proposed based on the principles of Moiré sampling by intentionally generating aliasing artifacts and correcting them afterwards.

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an emerging imaging method combining light and sound. However, limited by the laser's repetition rate, state-of-the-art high-speed PAM technology often sacrifices spatial sampling density (, undersampling) for increased imaging speed over a large field-of-view. Deep learning (DL) methods have recently been used to improve sparsely sampled PAM images; however, these methods often require time-consuming pre-training and large training dataset with ground truth.

This article presents a real-time bokeh rendering technique that splats pre-computed sprites but takes dynamic visibilities and intrinsic appearances into account at runtime. To attain alias-free looks without excessive sampling on a lens, the visibilities of strong highlights are densely sampled using rasterization, while regular objects are sparsely sampled using conventional defocus-blur rendering. The intrinsic appearance is dynamically transformed from a precomputed look-up table, which encodes radial aberrations against image distances in a compact 2D texture.
