Description
The present invention relates to a system and method for calculating fluorescence lifetime. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fluorescence lifetime calculation system and method for fluorescence lifetime imaging.
Conventional fluorescence lifetime measurement using an analog signal is a method of extracting fluorescence lifetime as a difference between the average delay time of a pulse signal representing a system response function and the average delay time of a distorted fluorescent pulse signal. In this case, in order to calculate an average delay time of two pulse signals, an analog signal is stored in a data storage medium using a data acquisition device and then data processed.

Analytical techniques using fluorescence lifetime provide more advanced information than the fluorescence intensity method and have been widely used for quantitative analysis of the amount or acidity of various inorganic ions or oxygen in living cells. Recently, it is widely used in research on important life mechanisms that could not be identified in combination with Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) technique.
However, the conventional fluorescence lifetime imaging technique is significantly slower, which makes it difficult to analyze fast dynamic phenomena in cells. The present invention overcomes these shortcomings and aims to analyze fast dynamic phenomena in cells by fluorescence lifetime imaging techniques. According to the present invention, it can be very helpful in identifying basic biological mechanisms such as the identification of the correlation between proteins and the correlation between the protein and DNA that have not been revealed. It is also expected to be of great help in the development of innovative new drugs in the pharmaceutical field.
The present invention can be applied to three-dimensional nano light imaging technology, in particular three-dimensional nano light imaging technology using optical tomography and phase microscope technology.
