摘要

Photon noise is one of the fundamental limits in fluorescence imaging. Despite broad applications, existing self-supervised denoising methods rely on either temporal redundancy or spatial redundancy, leading to degradation in either temporal resolution or spatial resolution, especially for 3D imaging. Here, we propose light field denoising (LF-denoising), a self-supervised transformer framework leveraging spatial-angular redundancy based on the high-dimensional light field measurements to achieve high-fidelity denoising without relying on temporal information and avoiding associated artefacts in spatial domain. We demonstrate the advantage of LF-denoising over previous methods in highly dynamic 3D imaging with both simulations and experimental data across different species. Combined with state-of-the-art light field microscopy variants, we achieve long-term high-speed high-resolution 3D intravital imaging on diverse animals including zebrafish, Drosophila and mice, with ultra-low excitation power of 10 μW/mm². Specifically, we show that LF-denoising well preserved the temporal causality with superior denoising performance, which is critical for quantitative biology analysis in immunology and neuroscience.
