Application of the stretched exponential function to fluorescence lifetime imaging.
Conventional analyses of fluorescence lifetime measurements resolve the fluorescence decay profile in terms of discrete exponential components with distinct lifetimes. In complex, heterogeneous biological samples such as tissue, multi-exponential decay functions can appear to provide a better fit to fluorescence decay data than the assumption of a mono-exponential decay, but the assumption of m...
متن کاملApplication of the stretched exponential function to fluorescence lifetime imaging of biological tissue
The fluorescence decay in fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is typically fitted to a multi-exponential model with discrete lifetimes. The interaction between fluorophores in heterogeneous samples (e.g. biological tissue) can, however, produce complex decay characteristics that do not correspond to such models. Although they appear to provide a better fit to fluorescence decay data than the a...
متن کاملTomographic fluorescence lifetime imaging
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a well-established technique (Bastiaens and Squire 1999; Berezovska et al. 2003; Selvin 2000; Vogel et al. 2006) that combines microscopic techniques with time-resolved detection to provide high-resolution lifetime images of thin tissue sections. This chapter concerns the in vivo time domain imaging of fluorescent contrast agents embedded in de...
متن کاملFluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy
Imaging techniques based on retinal autofluorescence have found broad applications in ophthalmology because they are extremely sensitive and noninvasive. Conventional fundus autofluorescence imaging measures fluorescence intensity of endogenous retinal fluorophores. It mainly derives its signal from lipofuscin at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Fundus autofluorescence, however, can...
متن کاملStroboscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging.
We report a fluorescence lifetime imaging technique that uses the time integrated response to a periodic optical excitation, eliminating the need for time resolution in detection. A Dirac pulse train of variable period is used to probe the frequency response of the total fluorescence per pulse leading to a frequency roll-off that is dependent on the relaxation rate of the fluorophores. The tech...
