Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for imaging low light emitted by biological source samples (or specimens) such as cells, bacteria and other biological samples, more specifically, the present invention relates to low light imaging by bioluminescent phenomena And methods and devices for observing and various measurements of such samples. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, techniques for imaging samples of biological origin, such as cells, with fluorescent proteins such as GFP, and / or luminescent proteins, such as luciferase, luminescent proteins, have been increasingly used in research in the field of life sciences. Expression in any cell by transgenesis. Fluorescent or luminescent proteins can be expressed while mixed with another arbitrary protein (protein marker) in the cell, and will only be based on specific genetic regulation if a fluorescent or luminescent protein-encoding gene is inserted or replaced downstream o...
