常规透射电子显微镜（TEM）记录三维（3D）物体的二维（2D）投影，这使得纳米颗粒形貌的推断变得复杂。本研究针对沉积在TEM网格上以及经细胞内化并固定于树脂中的准球形氧化铁纳米颗粒（IONPs）考察了这一局限性。我们开发了一种统计逆重建方法，在该方法中，合成的3D颗粒群体被随机取向、投影到类似TEM的平面上，并与实验得到的等效直径和轴比分布进行比较。我们考虑了几何复杂度递增的模型，从单分散长椭球体到尺寸和形状均多分散的长椭球群体以及三轴椭球体。尺寸多分散性是重现投影等效直径分布所必需的，而通过三轴描述放宽轴对称性则能同时重现尺寸和轴比分布。推断出的群体代表一种统计上兼容的3D形貌，而非逐颗粒的独特重建。其物理相关性通过纳入相应形状各向异性贡献的宏自旋模型进行评估。应用于磁流体热疗时，预测的加热响应显示出对颗粒几何形状和多分散性的显著敏感性。该方法为将常规TEM测量与纳米颗粒 ensembles 的形貌依赖性性质联系起来提供了一个通用框架。
英文摘要
Conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) records two-dimensional (2D) projections of three-dimensional (3D) objects, complicating the inference of nanoparticle morphology. This limitation is investigated for quasi-spherical iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) imaged after deposition on a TEM grid and after cellular internalization and immobilization in resin. A statistical inverse-reconstruction method is developed in which synthetic 3D particle populations are randomly oriented, projected onto a TEM-like plane, and compared with the experimental equivalent-diameter and axial-ratio distributions. Models of increasing geometrical complexity are considered, from monodisperse prolate spheroids to size- and shape-polydisperse prolate populations and triaxial ellipsoids. Size polydispersity is required to reproduce the projected equivalent-diameter distribution, whereas relaxing axial symmetry through a triaxial description enables simultaneous reproduction of the size and axial-ratio distributions. The inferred population represents a statistically compatible 3D morphology rather than a unique particle-by-particle reconstruction. Its physical relevance is assessed through a macrospin model incorporating the corresponding shape-anisotropy contributions. Application to magnetic fluid hyperthermia reveals a pronounced sensitivity of the predicted heating response to particle geometry and polydispersity. The approach provides a general framework for connecting conventional TEM measurements with morphology-dependent properties of nanoparticle ensembles.
