A method for enhancing contrast in fluorescence imaging is provided. The method comprises providing a patterned illumination source for illuminating one or more regions corresponding to a scan step, scanning at least a portion of a surface of a subject using a plurality of scan steps, acquiring image frames corresponding to two or more scan steps, deducting a background fluorescence from the image frames corresponding to the two or more scan steps to form one or more processed image frames, and reconstructing an image using one or more of the processed image frames.

摘要:
A technique is provided for multi-mode optical imaging. The technique includes directing a visible light and an excitation light towards a specimen. The excitation light is configured to induce luminescence in the specimen. The technique also includes detecting visible light scattered or reflected from the specimen and luminescent light emitted via luminescence simultaneously via a single detector.

A system, in one embodiment, includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system having a light source configured to emit light. The OCT imaging system further includes a beam splitter configured to receive the light from the light source, split the light into a first light portion directed along a sample arm comprising a sample and a second light portion directed along a reference arm comprising a reference mirror, receive a first reflected light portion from the sample arm and a second reflected light portion from the reference arm, combine the first and second reflected light portions to obtain an interference signal. Further, the OCT imaging system includes a controller having logic configured to perform an auto-ranging process to match the reference arm with the sample arm.
摘要:
A system for delivering exogenous molecules comprises a support for containing cells and exogenous molecules; an infra-red (IR) light source that generates an IR optical beam with an average power density at least greater than 105 W/cm2; one or more optical elements; an imaging system to image the cells in a field of view; a processor that generates a signal for localization of cells in the field of view; a light pattern shaper for temporal focusing of optical beam to generate wide field illumination on the cells to permeabilise the cell membrane for delivering the exogenous molecules; and a controller that switches optical beam from wide field illumination to a focused illumination. The processor is operatively coupled to the imaging system and the light pattern shaper and transmits the signal for the localization of cells to ensure the temporal focusing of the optical beam on the cells.
