Abstract
A background correction method for a fluorescence microscopy system includes receiving a raw image stack, determining a number of temporal minimum intensity values for each pixel location from the raw image stack, and calculating an expected background value for each pixel location based on the number of temporal minimum intensity values for the pixel location. Also, an emitter localization method includes receiving a raw image stack, determining a rough position of each of a plurality of emitters within the raw image stack by employing a linear deconvolution process, and determining a precise position of each of the plurality of emitters by employing the rough position of the emitter and gradient fitting.
