Instrumentation to rapidly acquire fluorescence wavelength-time matrices of biological tissues
A fiber-optic system was developed to rapidly acquire tissue fluorescence wavelength-time matrices (WTMs) with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The essential system components (473 nm microchip laser operating at 3 kHz repetition frequency, fiber-probe assemblies, emission monochromator, photomultiplier tube, and digitizer) were assembled into a compact and clinically-compatible unit. Data wer...
متن کاملFluorescence: Basic Instrumentation
originated with Gaviola 1 who termed his lifetime instrument a “fluorometer". Clearly the starting point for any fluorescence observation is the light source. Fortunately, we no longer need to rely on sunlight as the principle excitation source for fluorescence. A comprehensive discussion of the development of light sources is beyond the scope of this chapter, but a good index of a wide range o...
متن کاملTime-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging applied to biological tissue.
Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is a functional imaging methodology that can provide information, not only concerning the localisation of specific fluorophores, but also about the local fluorophore environment. It may be implemented in scanning confocal or multi-photon microscopes, or in wide-field microscopes and endoscopes. When applied to tissue autofluorescence, it reveals intrinsic ex...
متن کاملReal time optical Biopsy: Time-resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy instrumentation and validation
The Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (TR-FS) has the potential to differentiate tumor and normal tissue in real time during surgical excision. In this manuscript, we describe the design of a novel TR-FS device, along with preliminary data on detection accuracy for fluorophores in a mixture. The instrument is capable of near real-time fluorescence lifetime acquisition in multiple spectral...
متن کاملTime-gated transillumination of biological tissues and tissuelike phantoms.
The applicability and limits of time-resolved transillumination to determine the internal details of biological tissues are investigated by phantom experiments. By means of line scans across a sharp edge, the spatial resolution (Δx) and its dependence on the time-gate width (Δt) can be determined. Additionally, measurements of completely absorbing bead pairs embedded in a turbid medium demonstr...
