摘要:
A method for examining an attachment or detachment of living cells, dead cells or cell-like particles on a surface using plasmon resonance includes irradiating a measurement region with beams over the entire angle of incidence spectrum and capturing, combining and evaluating beams with identical angles of incidence reflected from different points of the measurement region with a determination of the angle of light incidence with a lowest reflected light intensity and measuring an angle of incidence shift of an intensity minimum that occurs. The evaluating includes registering different angles of incidence of two or more intensity minima occurring simultaneously to reflect a respective level of the surface accumulations.
摘要:
The invention relates to the examination of the attachment or detachment of living or dead cells, or cell-like particles, or other surface accumulations on surfaces, by means of plasmon resonance. The reflected light is evaluated such that two or more intensity minima of the reflected light occurring within a time frame are registered in a time dependant manner for different incident angles. The registered measurement signals reflect the respective amount of the surface accumulation. In case two intensity minima have occurred at the same time, valuable information about particular processes regarding the surface accumulation, for example regarding the adhesion of cells, can be obtained. Said information is of particular importance in the field of medicine/biology.
