Many imaging processes, including both conventional wide-field and confocal fluorescence microscopy, can be described to a good approximation as linear and spatially-invariant. Linearity means that the image of an extended specimen is simply the sum of the images of the parts of the specimen - in the limit the specimen can be regarded as a collection of points, and its image is the sum of the images of the points - i.e. weighted instances of the imaging system's point spread function (psf). In the case of spatially invariant imaging the psf is the same over the entire field of imaging. Mathematically, the image is the convolution of the specimen with the system psf. In principle, this convolution can be reversed to remove degradation introduced by the imaging process, a computational procedure often called deconvolution or, more generally, restoration.

Haloferaxmediterranei is a haloarchaeon of high interest in biotechnology because it produces and mobilizes intracellular polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granules during growth under stress conditions (limitation of phosphorous in the culture media), among other interesting metabolites (enzymes, carotenoids, etc.). The capability of PHA production by microbes can be monitored with the use of staining-based methods. However, the staining of haloarchaea cells is a challenging task; firstly, due to the high ionic strength of the medium, which is inappropriate for most of dyes, and secondly, due to the low permeability of the haloarchaea S-layer to macromolecules. In this work, Haloferax mediterranei is used as a halophilic archaeon model to describe an optimized protocol for the visualization and analysis of intracellular PHA granules in living cells. The method is based on double-fluorescence staining using Nile red and SYBR Green by confocal fluorescence microscopy. Thanks to this method, the capability of PHA production by new haloarchaea isolates could be easily monitored.
