Abstract: (a) a measurement F0(x, y, ?t) of the signals detected is provided; (b) on the one hand a first value F1(X, y, ?t) is provided, termed the “integration” value and on the other hand a second value F2(x, y, ?t) termed the “count” value is provided; (c) a value Fe(x0, y0, ?t) of a number of signals is estimated from a combination of first F1(X0, y0, ?t) and second F2(x0, y0, ?t) values, on the basis of a criterion of detection in the neighborhood.

Abstract: The imaging apparatus comprises a light-tight enclosure in which are enclosed: a detector adapted to detect a light signal emitted from a sample, a reflecting device comprising first and second reflecting portions reflecting toward first and second portions of the detector a signal emitted from first and second portions of the sample, the second reflecting portion reflecting toward a third portion of the detector a signal emitted from a the third portion of the sample and previously reflected by the first reflecting portion, a fourth portion of the detector directly detecting a signal emitted from a fourth portion of the sample.

Abstract: A method for obtaining an image of a sample having an external surface enclosing an inside, a light signal being emitted from within the inside, the method comprising: (a) providing two positioning images each comprising the external surface of the sample, (b) providing a light-emission image comprising data related to the light signal emitted from within the inside of the sample, (c) detecting a landmark pattern integral with the sample, (d) defining a transformation from the detected landmark position, (e) obtaining a referenced light-emission image by applying the transformation onto the light-emission image.

Abstract: A luminescence imaging installation is disclosed comprising a lightproof enclosure containing: a support receiving a sample to be imaged; a detector detecting a luminescence image from the sample to be imaged; and a light reflector device reflecting light towards the detector The light reflector device surrounds the support at least in part and presents at least two portions that are inclined relative to each other, each reflecting light towards the detector.
