Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for biomolecular multiplexed imaging through the iterative unmixing of fluorophores. According to the first embodiments of the present disclosure, although signals of two fluorophores are detected in the first fluorescent detection spectral range, the signals of the two images obtained from two detection spectral ranges can be unmixed through the iterative minimization of mutual information. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a multi-color unmixing method and apparatus through the iterative minimization of mutual information. In the second embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of images of a plurality of fluorophores marking different biomolecules, respectively, for example, N fluorophores are obtained. Images, each containing the signals of single fluorophore can be obatined from the obtained images while minimizing the mutual information shared by images of each of pairs each consisting of two of the obtained images.
