The work presented here reports the use of long lifetime (>1 μs) BSA Au clusters as a cellular/tissue, time gated, intensity imaging probe. By collecting the emission signal 50 ns post excitation, one can off-gate the intense auto-fluorescence background, thereby greatly enhancing the clarity/specificity in fluorescence imaging.
本文所展示的工作报道了使用长寿命(>1微秒)的牛血清白蛋白金簇作为细胞/组织的时间门控强度成像探针。通过在激发后50纳秒收集发射信号,可以去除强烈的自发荧光背景,从而大大提高荧光成像的清晰度/特异性。
