    摘要: A single detector based spectroscopy system using FAST (fiber array spectral translator) fibers and two excitation sources in conjunction with a holographic spectrum analyzer (HSA) to obtain simultaneous and selective display of spectroscopic regions of interest. A sample can be illuminated with different laser excitation wavelengths and resulting multiple spectra can be comparatively observed on a single display screen for more fruitful analysis of sample spectral responses (and, hence, sample chemical or physical properties) under different excitations. The HSA may be configured to focus on user-selected spectral regions of interest from different such spectra and a single CCD detector may be configured to collect spectral data from all selected spectral regions of interest in corresponding portions of the CCD pixel array, thereby allowing subsequent simultaneous display of such selected spectral regions of interest. The HSA may also allow simultaneous collection and display of portions of a single spectrum from a single excitation wavelength. A user can perform better comparative analysis when spectral regions of interest are juxtaposed with each other on a single electronic display.

    摘要: The invention relates to methods of dynamic chemical imaging, including methods of cellular imaging. The method comprises illuminating at least a portion of a cell with substantially monochromatic light and assessing Raman-shifted light scattered from the illuminated portion at a plurality of discrete times. The Raman-shifted light can be assessed at a plurality of Raman shift (RS) values at each of the discrete times, and the RS values can be selected to be characteristic of a pre-selected component at each of the discrete times. Multivariate analysis of Raman spectral features of the images thus obtained can yield the location and chemical identity of components in the field of view. This information can be combined or overlaid with other spectral data (e.g., a visible microscopic image) obtained from the field of view.

    摘要: A method for operating an optical filter in multiple modes. In one embodiment, an optical filter may be operated in a sensitivity mode to thereby generate a white light image representative of a region of interest. The optical filter may then be operated in a specificity mode to thereby generate a hyperspectral image representative of said region of interest. The white light image and the hyperspectral image may be fused to generate a hybrid image that provides morphological and hyperspectral data. The white light image and the hyperspectral image may be generated using a single detector, eliminating the need for image realignment.

    摘要: A system and method for detecting dynamic changes that occur in a sample between a first time interval and a second time interval using a series of at least first and second sequential chemical images of the sample. During the first time interval: (i) the sample is illuminated with a plurality of photons to thereby produce photons scattered or emitted by the sample; (ii) a two-dimensional array of detection elements is used to simultaneously detect scattered or emitted photons in a first predetermined wavelength band from different locations on or within the sample; and (iii) the two-dimensional array of detection elements is thereafter used one or more further times to simultaneously detect scattered or emitted photons in one or more further predetermined wavelength band(s) from different locations on or within the sample. The outputs of the two-dimensional array of detection elements during the first time interval are then combined to generate the first chemical image of the sample. The process is repeated during the second time interval to generate the second chemical image of the sample. Dynamic changes occurring in the sample between the first time interval and the second time interval are detected based on one or more differences between the first and second chemical images.

The outputs of the two-dimensional array of detection elements during the first time interval are then combined to generate the first chemical image of the sample. The process is repeated during the second time interval to generate the second chemical image of the sample. Dynamic changes occurring in the sample between the first time interval and the second time interval are detected based on one or more differences between the first and second chemical images.
