Notes: Advanced Imaging Workshop 01/19/11

Notes (taken on phone, sorry about poor formatting).

FLIM lifetime imaging

ave time before photon release.   10E-9s

adv. sep. near spectra.    sensitive to ph etc.   independent of intensity in or out.   use w/ FRETmeasure distance.   can id distribution of distances

method

time corr single photon counting. tcspc.  1p and 2p or confocal.

pulse femtosec laser.   buield decay time histogram.   can do spectral.

frequency mode. measure phase-shift and amp shift.   need ref sample.  dont need high speed laser.

Wolfgang Becker

how many separations distances can we measure?

histogram per pixel to make images

can do autofluorescence detection

multi-spectral FLIM

still effected by photobleaching – dif states bleach at dif rates

Angelika Rueck -SLIM

simultaneous 16 chn detection.

detect anaeorbic respiration (common to tumors) by NADH/FAD+ ratio.

acceptor lifetime also changes, use to improve fit.   lifetime not dependent on wavelength.  (could have done FRET eff from 1 chn acceptor alone

can I measure density of interacting TFs by FLIM?   ie are bcd molecules clustered on. DNA

Michael Boersch

what software?  (looks like mlab)

atp-synthase-gfp measure membrane diffusion of single molecules (e coli tirf)

measure 2-8nm rotary separation w/ fret.

fl is diffraction lim volume.  1nM in 1 fl is 1 molecule

id rotation dir dwell length per state.   freeze rotor,  count number of states.

Sophie pautot

membrane protein. clustering state w/  flim

neural junction formation, use flim to get around need to tightly balance acceptor donor ratio.

ahmed hiekal

cell autofluorescence  – nadh/  fad comparison

enricho gratton

nuclear flow how proteins find targets.   diffusion rate local measure is homogeneous

fcs. fluctuations in intensity to get diffusion gratton 2005.  single paticle tracking when many are present?   single pt fcs sensitive to binding vs diffusion.  can’t see barriers.

measure intensity at multiple points away from original position.  barriers  create lack of spatial correlation  in intensity.   less than expected correlation –> penetrable barrier.

egfp-nls goes between low dna to low dna and high dna to high dna with a delay.  but not between low to high.
