Abstract

The invention relates to the field of fluorescent lifetime imaging, and the lifetime estimation accuracy is improved for expanding the fluorescent lifetime estimation range under the same laser frequency condition. An RLD (Rapid Lifetime Determination) pre-estimation method is improved, so that the iterative operation is avoided. According to the adopted technical scheme, a correction method of a center of mass method used for calculating fluorescent lifetime comprises the following steps that to-be-recovered decay lifetime is tau, the laser frequency adopted by a time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) system is F, the recorded total photon number is NC, and the photon arrival time summation obtained by quantification is NT; a threshold is defined and determination is carried out; when the lifetime is smaller than the threshold, a lifetime deviation is compensated by adopting nonlinear one-iteration; or otherwise, the fluorescent lifetime is estimated through the RLD method; and correction is carried out through nonlinear compensation to obtain final fluorescent lifetime. The method is mainly applied to the occasion of designing and manufacturing fluorescent lifetime imaging products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fluorescence lifetime imaging, in particular to an estimation algorithm of real-time fluorescence decay lifetime. Suitable for high-speed fluorescence lifetime analysis. Specifically, it relates to a hardware-executable center of mass algorithm (Center of Mass Method, CMM), in particular to a correction method for the center of mass algorithm used to calculate fluorescence lifetime. Background technique [0002] The fluorescence lifetime is not affected by factors such as changes in excitation light intensity, fluorophore concentration, and environmental absorption, and has very high sensitivity and molecular specificity. Fluorescence lifetime imaging quantitatively measures the microenvironment through the difference in the decay time of fluorescent tracer molecules excited in different environments. Fluorescence imaging analysis technology is widely used in life sciences, medicine and other fields, such as clin...
