We consider the construction of high-resolution images from a time series of fluorescence microscopy images obtained using a scintillator. A regularization method is applied and the results are compared for various stabilizers, including the RED (regularization-by-denoising) approach. Tests conducted for two series of microtubule structures have proved the applicability of the proposed methods.
