Photobleaching in Two‐Photon Scanning Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy

Two‐photon excitation in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is often preferred to one‐photon excitation because of reduced bulk photobleaching and photodamage, and deeper penetration into scattering media, such as thick biological specimens. Two‐photon FCS, however, suffers from lower signal‐to‐noise ratios which are directly related to the lower molecular brightness achieved. We compare standard FCS with a fixed measurement volume with scanning FCS, where the measurement volume is scanned along a circular path. The experimental results show that photobleaching is the dominant cause of the effects observed at the high excitation powers necessary for good signal‐to‐noise ratios. Theoretical calculations assuming a nonuniform excitation intensity profile, and using the concept of generalized volume contrast, provide an explanation for the photobleaching effects commonly observed in two‐photon FCS at high excitation intensities, without having to assume optical saturation. Scanning alleviates these effects by spreading the photobleaching dose over a larger area, thereby reducing the depletion of fluorescent molecules in the measurement volume. These results, which facilitate understanding of the photobleaching in FCS and of the positive effects of scanning, are particularly important in studies involving the autocorrelation amplitude g(0), such as concentration measurements or binding studies using fluorescence cross‐correlation between two labeled species.     

长时程双光子成像技术

双光子成像(Two-Photon Imaging)技术以其优越特性被广泛用于活细胞动态三维成像,但光功率极高的短脉冲光对焦平面荧光分子严重的光漂白极大地影响了双光子长时间成像的图像质量,针对双光子荧光漂白问题,本文提出一种优化光照的双光子(Optimized Lighting-Two Photon,OL-TP)成像技术。通过预扫描获取双光子图像分析高低阈值,以预设的高低阈值为标准优化一幅图像中不同区域的光照时长,利用扫描过程中记录的荧光信息和光照时间信息可以重建OL-TP图像,既保证信噪比又降低荧光漂白。重建的OL-TP图像与传统双光子图像基本一致,信噪比略有降低,但图像并未失真。对110 nm的荧光小球样本分别连续取30幅普通双光子和优化光照的双光子图像,到第30幅图时,重建后的优化光照双光子图像比普通双光子图像荧光漂白降低了28.86%。OL-TP通过优化光照时间大幅降低双光子成像的荧光漂白,使双光子荧光显微镜能够更好地对生物样本进行长时间观测。

微阵列技术为大量基因表达水平的同时监控提供了一种高效的手段。随着微阵列芯片朝着小型化、高通量和弱信号方向发展,荧光检测技术以其易寻址和高灵敏度等优势越来越受到世人关注。在微阵列技术中,人们通过检测微阵列芯片上不同位置斑点的荧光信号强度,可以得知微阵列芯片不同位置固定的已知序列探针与荧光染料标记的cDNA样品的杂交情况。对一张微阵列芯片多次扫描后,荧光染料发生光漂白,荧光强度发生衰减变化,它将为微阵列的数据分析带来误差。使用荧光浓度梯度微阵列芯片研究了芯片经多次扫描后荧光斑点强度的衰减情况,通过拟合相同荧光斑点经多次重复扫描后得到的信号强度,得到了荧光斑点强度按指数形式衰减的规律,并在此基础上研究了荧光斑点强度衰减指数模型中的参数与荧光斑点初始浓度的关系,为进行微阵列芯片数据光漂白误差修正提供了实验依据。
