的運作範例
Essentially, FCS can be performed with a
continuous-wave laser, but using pulsed lasers allows even
more sophisticated analysis possibilities, such as
time-gated FCS or Fluorescence Lifetime FCS (FLCS). Both
methods make use of the additional information obtained by
the simultaneous measurement of the fluorescence lifetime.
A time-gate, for example, selects for analysis of only
those photons that can be clearly attributed to the
fluorescence decay. Suppression of scattered light (Rayleigh,
Raman) from the detected signal allows an accurate
measurement of concentration. In FLCS each photon is
statistically weighted as to how much it contributes to
the FCS data analysis. It can be used to correct for
detector artifacts or scattering contributions. It even
allows simultaneous monitoring of two dyes with completely
overlapping emission spectra and with very similar
diffusion coefficients by using only a single detector.
