Correlative microscopy combining various imaging modalities offers powerful insights into obtaining a comprehensive understanding of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. In this article, we investigate two approaches for image fusion in the context of combining the inherently lower-resolution chemical images obtained using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) with the high-resolution ultrastructural images obtained using electron microscopy (EM). We evaluate the image fusion methods with three different case studies selected to broadly represent the typical samples in life science research: (i) histology (unlabeled tissue), (ii) nanotoxicology, and (iii) metabolism (isotopically labeled tisue). We show that the intensity-hue-saturation fusion method often applied for EM-sharpening can result in serious image artifacts, especially in cases where different contrast mechanisms interplay. Here, we introduce and demonstrate Laplacian pyramid fusion as a powerful and more robust alternative method for image fusion. Both physical and technical aspects of correlative image overlay and image fusion specific to SIMS-based correlative microscopy are discussed in detail alongside the advantages, limitations, and the potential artifacts. Quantitative metrics to evaluate the results of image fusion are also discussed.
