Abstract

In this paper, we introduced a near-infrared multi-channel fluorescence imaging system and analyzed the effects of measurements variables such as exposure time, working distance and intensity of excitation light. Fluorescence signal is increased as exposure time becomes longer, excitation light intensity increases or working distance becomes smaller. Furthermore, the proper composition of optical filters and precise packaging of the imaging modules prevent the increase of background signal. Thus, we confirmed an increase in SBR. Based on the result of this research, we proposed a method to use a multi-channel fluorescence imaging system.

본 논문에서는 근적외선 다채널 형광 영상 시스템을 소개하고, 노출시간, 작동거리, 여기광의 강도에 따른 형광 영상 시스템의 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 노출시간이 길수록, 작동거리가 짧을수록, 여기광의 강도가 강할수록 형광신호가 증가하였다. 필터의 적절한 구성과 영상 모듈의 정밀한 패키징으로 배경신호의 증가를 억제하여 SBR이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 다채널 형광 영상 시스템을 활용할 수 있는 방안에 대해 제안하였다.
