## 🧠 1. Introduction

**Correlative Light-Electron Microscopy (CLEM)** is a **nonlinear inverse problem** whose unknown lives in **2D fluorescence plus em** space, within the **Fluorescence + TEM/SEM on the same sample** sub-domain of **Multimodal Fusion**.

Measurements consist of electrons collected by an electron detector via a **correlative light electron** sensing mechanism.

The forward operator applies, in order: L · fluorescence imaging operator; L · em imaging operator; L · multi scale registration operator; pixel-level spatial averaging on the detector.

Observations are corrupted by Poisson shot noise from quantum-limited detection. Existence of the recovered 2D fluorescence plus em is guaranteed within the declared Omega bounds. Uniqueness is local rather than global (non-convex landscape); convergence depends on initialisation and priors. Stability is moderately conditioned (kappa_eff ~= 18); scale_mismatch dominates the stability cliff; sample_preparation_artifact and the remaining mismatch parameters contribute higher-order bias terms. Photon-shot-noise-limited (poisson counting) sets the irreducible data-fidelity floor, while TV / wavelet-sparsity / deep priors stabilise recovery at the ill-conditioned end of Omega.

## ⚙ 2. Forward Model

Physical chain: **x** → L · fluorescence imaging → L · em imaging → L · multi scale registration → Spatial integration → **y** (detector).

```
y = ∫_A dA `L.multi_scale_registration` `L.em_imaging` `L.fluorescence_imaging` x,    measurements ~ Poisson(αy)
```

**Measurement DAG:**

| `L.em_imaging` | L · em imaging operator |
| `L.multi_scale_registration` | L · multi scale registration operator |
| `int.spatial` | Pixel-level spatial averaging on the detector |
