Fluorescence Loss in Photobleaching , or FLIP , is a technique in fluorescence microscopy which can be used to examine the movement or diffusion of molecules inside cell biology cell s or cell membrane membrane s. Typically a cell membrane is labelled with a fluorescent fluorophore dye , and a specific area of the labeled membrane is photobleaching bleached using the beam from a confocal laser scanning microscope . The fluorescence intensity from that region of the membrane is measured over time. Motion of fluorescent molecules into and along the membrane slowly restores the fluorescence in the bleached region, while depleting the fluorescence in other regions by exchange of bleached for unbleached fluorophores . Measurement of the rate of this recovery provides an estimate of the lateral membrane fluidity. Changes in the size and shape of the bleached region can also indicate directional flow along the cell membrane. FLIP is also useful in verifying the continuity of membranous organelles e.g., the Golgi apparatus . A small circumscribed region of the organelle is continuously bleached. As fluorophores diffuse along the membrane into the illuminated spot, they are bleached eventually, the fluorescence of the entire organelle is depleted. It is closely related to another technique, Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching FRAP . The difference between FLIP and FRAP is that FLIP follows the path of the bleached fluorophores, while FRAP follows the recovery of the bleached region. ref name nature review cite journal last1 Lippincott Schwartzl first1 Jennifer last2 Snappl first2 Erik last3 Kenworthy first3 Anne title Studying protein dynamics in living cells journal Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology volume 2 pages 444 456 date June 2001 doi 10.1038 35073068 pmid 11389468 issue 6 ref References references See also Fluorescence microscope Category Microscopy Category Fluorescence Category Cell imaging Category Biochemistry methods Cell biology stub ... more details
morefootnotes date December 2010 Laser induced fluorescence LIF is a spectroscopy spectroscopic method used for studying structure of molecules, detection of selective species and flow visualization and measurements. The species to be examined is Excited state excited with a laser . The wavelength is often selected to be the one at which the species has its largest cross section physics cross section . The excited species will after some time, usually in the order of few nanoseconds to microseconds, de excite and emit light at a wavelength longer than the excitation wavelength. This fluorescent light is typically recorded with a photomultiplier tube PMT . Two different kinds of spectra exist, disperse spectra and excitation spectra. The disperse spectra are performed with a fixed lasing wavelength, as above and the fluorescence spectrum is analyzed. Excitation scans on the other hand collect fluorescent light at a fixed emission wavelength or range of wavelengths. Instead the lasing wavelength is changed. An advantage over absorption spectroscopy is that it is possible to get two and three dimensional images since fluorescence takes place in all directions i.e. the fluorescence signal is isotropic . The signal to noise ratio of the fluorescence signal is very high, providing a good sensitivity to the process. It is also possible to distinguish between more species, since the lasing wavelength can be tuned to a particular excitation of a given species which is not shared by other species. LIF is useful in the study of the electronic structure of molecules and their interactions. It has also been successfully applied for quantitative measurement of concentrations in fields like ... title The Application of Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy to Measurement of Purity Level ....

No footnotes date April 2009 Supercritical Angle Fluorescence Microscopy SAF is a technique to detect and characterize fluorescent species proteins, biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, etc. and their behaviour very close or even adsorption adsorbed or linked at surfaces. The method is able to observe molecules in a distance of less than 100 to 0 nanometer from the surface even in presence of high concentrations of fluorescent species around. Using an aspheric lens for excitation of a sample with laser light, fluorescence emitted by the specimen is collected above the critical angle of total internal reflection selectively and directed by a parabolic optics onto a detector. The method was invented in 1998 in the laboratories of Stefan Seeger at University of Regensburg Germany and later at University of Zurich Switzerland. SAF Microscopy Principle The principle how SAF Microscopy works is as follows A fluorescent specimen does not emit fluorescence isotropically when it comes close to a surface, but approximately 70 of the fluorescence emitted is directed into the solid phase.

A multiphoton fluorescence microscope MFM is a specialized optical microscope . Description The MFM uses pulsed long wavelength light to excite fluorophore s within the specimen being observed. The fluorophore absorbs the energy from two long wavelength photons which must arrive simultaneously in order to excite an electron into a higher energy state, from which it can decay, emitting a fluorescence signal. It differs from traditional fluorescence microscopy in which the excitation wavelength is shorter than the emission wavelength, as the summed energies of two long wavelength exciting photons will produce an emission wavelength shorter than the excitation wavelength. Multiphoton fluorescence microscopy has similarities to confocal laser scanning microscopy . Both use focused laser beams scanned in a raster pattern to generate images, and both have an optical sectioning effect. Unlike confocal microscopes, multiphoton microscopes do not contain pinhole apertures, which give confocal microscopes their optical sectioning quality. The optical sectioning produced by multiphoton microscopes is a result of the point spread function formed where the pulsed laser beams coincide. The multiphoton point spread function is typically dumbbell shaped longer in the x y plane , compared to the upright rugby ball shaped point spread function of confocal microscopes. The longer wavelength, low energy typically infra red excitation lasers of multiphoton microscopes are well suited to use in imaging live cells as they cause less damage than short wavelength lasers, so cells may be observed for longer periods with fewer toxic effects. Many researchers are currently working toward better and higher resolution multiphoton imaging developments.

nofootnotes date December 2010 The Simulated Fluorescence Process SFP is a computing algorithm used for scientific visualization of 3D data from, for example, fluorescence microscope s. By modeling a physical light matter interaction process an image is computed showing the data as it would have appeared in reality when viewed under these conditions. Principle The algorithm considers a virtual light source producing excitation light that illuminates the object. This casts shadows either on parts of the object itself or on other objects below it. The interaction between the excitation light and the object provokes the emission light, that also interacts with the object before it finally reaches the eye of the viewer. References H. T.

Image PLIF schematic.PNG thumb 300px A simplified PLIF experimental facility. Planar laser induced fluorescence PLIF is an optical diagnostic technique widely used for flow visualization and quantitative measurements. PLIF has been shown to be used for velocity, concentration, temperature and pressure measurements. Working A typical PLIF setup consists a source of light usually a laser , an arrangement of lenses to form a sheet, fluorescent medium, collection optics and a detector. The light from the source, illuminates the medium, which then fluoresces. This signal is captured by the detector and can be related to the various properties of the medium. The typical lasers used as light sources are pulsed, which provide a higher peak power than the continuous wave lasers. Also the short pulse time is useful for good temporal resolution . Some of the widely used laser sources are Nd YAG laser , dye laser s, excimer laser s, and ion laser s. The light from the laser usually a beam is passed through a set of lenses and or mirrors to form a sheet, which is then used to illuminate the medium. This medium is either made up of fluorescent material or can be seeded with a fluorescent substance. The signal is usually captured by a Charge coupled device CCD or Active pixel sensor CMOS camera sometimes Intensified charge coupled device intensified cameras are also used . Timing electronics is often used to synchronize pulsed light sources with intensified cameras.

NRF interactions typically take place above 1 MeV , and most NRF experiments target heavy nuclei such as uranium and thorium ref name tunlNRF Mode of interaction NRF reactions are the result of nuclear absorption and subsequent emission of high energy photons gamma rays . As a gamma ray strikes the nucleus, the nucleus becomes excited that is, the nuclear system as a quantum mechanical ensemble is put into a state with a higher energy . Much like electronic excitation, the nucleus will decay toward its ground state, releasing a high energy photon at a number of possible, discrete energies. Thus, NRF can be quantified using Gamma spectroscopy spectroscopy . Nuclei can be identified by the distinct pattern of NRF emission peaks, although NRF analysis is much less straightforward than typical electronic emissions. ref name hansen As the energy of incident photons increases, the average spacing between nuclear energy levels decreases. For sufficiently energetic nuclei i.e. incident photons of over 1 MeV , the mean spacing between energy levels may be lower than the mean width of each NRF Resonance particle physics resonance . At this point, determinations of peak spacing cannot be analytical, and must rely on specialized applications of the statistical methods of signal processing .

Multiple issues no footnotes February 2010 context December 2010 confusing December 2010 Fluorescence cross correlation spectroscopy FCCS was introduced by Eigen and Rigler in 1994 and experimentally realized by Schwille in 1997. It extends the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy FCS procedure by introducing high sensitivity for distinguishing fluorescent particles which have a similar diffusion coefficient. FCCS uses two species which are independently labelled with two spectrally separated fluorescent probes. These fluorescent probes are excited and detected by two different laser light sources and detectors commonly known as green and red respectively. Both laser light beams are focused into the sample and tuned so that they overlap to form a superimposed confocal observation volume . The normalized cross correlation function is defined for two fluorescent species math G math and math R math which are independent green, G and red, R channels as follows math G GR tau 1 frac delta I G t delta I R t tau I G t I R t frac I G t I R t tau I G t I R t math where differential fluorescent signals math delta I G math at a specific time, math t math and math delta I R math at a delay time, math tau math later is correlated with each other.

Fluorescence interference contrast FLIC microscopy is a microscopy microscopic technique developed to achieve z resolution on the nanometer scale. FLIC occurs whenever fluorescent objects are in the vicinity of a reflecting surface e.g. Si wafer . The resulting interference between the direct and the reflected light leads to a double sin sup 2 sup modulation of the intensity, I, of a fluorescent object as a function of distance, h, above the reflecting surface. This allows for the nanometer height measurements . FLIC microscope is well suited to measuring the topography of a membrane that contains fluorescent probes e.g. an artificial lipid bilayer , or a living cell membrane or the structure of fluorescently labeled protein s on a surface. FLIC optical theory General two layer system The optical theory underlying FLIC was developed by Armin Lambacher and Peter Fromherz.
