  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING CELLULAR ACTIVITY
    Publication number: 20090095919
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring cellular activity in a cellular specimen. According to one embodiment, a plurality of excitable markers are applied to the specimen. A multi-photon laser microscope is provided to excite a region of the specimen and cause fluorescence to be radiated from the region. The radiating fluorescence is processed by a spectral analyzer to separate the fluorescence into respective wavelength bands. The respective bands of fluorescence are then collected by an array of detectors, with each detector receiving a corresponding one of the wavelength bands.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 15, 2008
    Publication date: April 16, 2009
