The biosciences require the development of methods that allow a non-invasive and rapid investigation of biological systems.
In this aspect, high-end imaging techniques allow intravital microscopy in real-time, providing information on a molecular
basis. Far-field fluorescence imaging techniques are some of the most adequate methods for such investigations. However, there
are great differences between the common fluorescence imaging techniques, i.e., wide-field, confocal one-photon and two-photon
microscopy, as far as their applicability in diverse bioscientific research areas is concerned. In the first part of this
work, we briefly compare these techniques. Standard methods used in the biosciences, i.e., steady-state techniques based on
the analysis of the total fluorescence signal originating from the sample, can successfully be employed in the study of cell,
tissue and organ morphology as well as in monitoring the macroscopic tissue function. However, they are mostly inadequate
for the quantitative investigation of the cellular function at the molecular level. The intrinsic disadvantages of steady-state
techniques are countered by using time-resolved techniques. Among these fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is currently
the most common. Different FLIM principles as well as applications of particular relevance for the biosciences, especially
for fast intravital studies are discussed in this work.

Fluorescence spectroscopy can be used as a highly sensitive and localized probe for hydration in lipid bilayers. Water associates with the head-group region, where it participates in an interlipid network of hydrogen bonds. Deeper in the bilayer, water is contained within acyl-chain packing defects. Fluorescence methodology is available to probe both the interstitial and head-group hydration in lipid bilayers, and results are in good agreement with other techniques. Using fluorescence spectroscopic approaches, cholesterol is shown to dehydrate the acyl-chain region, while hydrating the head-group region. Membrane proteins appear to increase acyl-chain hydration at the protein-lipid interface. Overall fluorescence spectroscopic techniques may be most effective in studying the water content of lipid bilayers and especially of biological membranes. 相似文献

Total lifetime distribution analysis was employed to obtain fluorescence lifetime profiles of the intrinsic fluorescence ofPseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, andStaphylococcus epidermidis. The lifetimes were measured using a multiharmonic Fourier transform phase-modulation fluorometer which can simultaneously
measure the phase shift and demodulation at many modulation frequencies. The 364-nm line from an argon-ion laser and the 325-
and 442-nm lines from a helium-cadmium laser were used for sample excitation. Broad emission windows were used to capture
as much of the bacterial emission as possible for the lifetime measurements. The maximum entropy method was used to recover
lifetime profiles from the multifrequency phasemodulation data. At all three excitation wavelengths, the bacteria exhibited
three lifetime components, in the ranges of 0.5-1, 2–3, and 4–8 ns. Using 325-nm excitation, a fourth component, in the range
of 9–14 ns, was recovered in all of the bacteria; using 364-nm excitation, the fourth component was resolved only in the two
Gram-negative bacteria (P. fluorescens andE. coli). Excitation at 364 nm provided the most reproducible lifetime profiles and showed some differences among the four bacteria. 相似文献

采用时域法中的时间相关单光子计数方法记录荧光寿命,时间相关单光子计数采用多波长通道同时记录荧光光子数,可以提高计数效率和信息量,还可以在稳态图像中分离不同荧光团,形成4维图像。并采用多光子激发技术,利用长波长光源发出的两个或多个光子可以激发出一个短波长的光子。多个光子必须几乎同时到达激发点, 才能提供被激发分子足够的能量以产生荧光。多光子激发波长较长, 生物组织对其散射减小,因而可以穿透到更深层的组织,从而提高荧光成像深度和空间分辨力,并减少对活体样品的损伤。 相似文献

An important process in the life of a cell is fusion between cellular membranes. This is the process by which two cellular compartments surrounded by different membranes join to become a single compartment surrounded by a single membrane, without significant loss of compartment contents. To demonstrate fusion, the cell biophysicist must demonstrate all three critical aspects of the process: (1) mixing of membrane components, (2) mixing of compartment contents; and (3) retention of compartment contents. Most commonly, accomplishing this involves the use of fluorescence probes. The general theme to the methods described involves some form of concentration-dependent quenching. An unique method developed in our laboratory utilizes the concentration dependence of the fluorescence lifetime of a phosphatidylcholine containing carboxyethyl diphenylhexatriene at position 2 and palmitic acid at position 1 of glycerol (DPHpPC). The fluorescence lifetime of this molecule and that of its parent fluorophore diphenylhexatriene (DPH) shorten dramatically as their two-dimensional concentrations in a membrane increase. This lifetime quenching can be described by dimer formation that reduces the symmetry of the DPH excited state. This phenomenon allows one to use the fluorescence lifetime to gain insight into the local concentration of probe in microscopic regions of a membrane. One application of this is in distinguishing lipid transfer between the outer leaflets of two contacting membrane bilayers from fusion between these membranes that leads to mixing of lipids in both the inner and outer leaflets of the membrane bilayers. This allows a single measurement to demonstrate fusion between membrane pairs.Abbreviations PEG

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a new methodology for studying the spatial and temporal dynamics of macromolecule, molecules, and ions in living cells. In FLIM image contrast is derived from the mean fluorescence lifetime at each point in a two-dimensional image. In our case the lifetime was measured by the phase-modulation method. We describe our FLIM apparatus, which consists of a fluorescence microscope, high-speed gated proximity focused MCP image intensifier, and slow-scan CCD camera. To accomplish subnanosecond time-resolved imaging, the gain of the image intensifier is modulated with a high-frequency signal, resulting in stationary phase-sensitive intensity images on the image intensifier. These images are recorded using a cooled slow-scan CCD camera and stored in an image processor. The lifetime images are created from a series of phase-sensitive images at various phase shift of the gain-modulation signal. We demonstrate calcium concentration imaging in living COS cells based on Ca2+-induced lifetime changes of Quin-2. The phase-angle image is mapped to the Ca2+ concentration image using anin vitro-determined calibration curve. The Ca2+ concentration was found to be uniform throughout the cell. In contrast, the intensity image shows significant spatial differences, which likely reflect variations in the thickness and distribution of probe within the cell. 相似文献

The usefulness of the fluorescent probe ruthenium tris(2,2′-dipyridyl) dichloride hydrate (RTDP) for the quantitative imaging
of oxygen in single cells was investigated utilizing fluorescence lifetime imaging. The results indicate that the fluorescence
behavior of RTDP in the presence of oxygen can be described by the Stem-Volmer equation. This shows that fluorescence quenching
by oxygen is a dynamic quenching process. In addition, it was demonstrated that the fluorescence lifetime of RTDP is insensitive
to pH, ion concentration, and cellular contents. This implies that a simple calibration procedure in buffers can be used to
quantify oxygen concentrations within cells. First fluorescence imaging experiments on J774 macrophages show a nonuniform
fluorescence intensity and a uniform fluorescence lifetime image. This indicates that the RTDP is heterogeneously partitioned
throughout the cells, while the oxygen concentration is constant. 相似文献

Fluorescence techniques are widely used as sensitive detection methods in bio-analytics. The use of the bio-physical parameter fluorescence lifetime additional to the spectral characteristics of fluorescence has the potential to improve fluorescence-related detection methods in terms of selectivity in signal recognition, robustness against disturbing influences, and the accessibility of novel bio-chemical process parameters. This article describes the technical set up of a time-resolving instrument with either a fixed time-gated detection principle for improved evaluation of tissue metabolism by an online monitoring of the tissue autofluorescence or a direct fluorescence lifetime detection principle for lifetime-based fluorescent assays. 相似文献

拟威布尔分布密度函数在荧光寿命成像数据分析中的应用 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
荧光寿命法成像技术(FLIM)是一种非常有效、功能强大且能用来分析复杂生物组织和细胞分子的成像技术。传统的荧光寿命成像的数据分析,按某些具有不同寿命、离散的单参量指数模型来描述荧光衰减过程。在生物组织这样既复杂又不均匀的样品中,虽然多参量指数模型能提供比单参量指数模型对实验数据更好的拟合效果,但是离散多参量的假定往往是随意的。提出了拟威布尔分布密度函数可能是生物荧光分子团衰减动力过程的真实再现,并且通过计算证明,对于某些生化感兴趣的荧光分子团的多槽基面效价测定样品的数据,相对于单参量指数与多参量指数衰减函数有更好的一致性。同时讨论了将该荧光衰减模型应用于荧光寿命成像的前景。 相似文献
