Method and system for tomographic imaging using fluorescent proteins

摘要

Light from a laser (402) is reflected by an optical scanner (412) to a body (416) containing fluorescent proteins from which light generated by fluorescence passes to a CCD detector (422) for analysis in an image processing computer (424). The scanner (412) has selectively movable components for directing the laser light along a plurality of different light paths to the body (416), thereby selectively moving the apparent source of the laser light.
