SPCDF from thin iron films was p-polarized with a directional emission angle of 70°. Fluorescein and meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine(TPPS) were used as a model system of dual fluorophores. Using 25 nm thin iron films,the SPCDF signals of the two fluorophores were observed at a fixed angle just by one scan. The SPCDF signals of Fluorescein and TPPS added to whole blood were identified clearly,eliminating the background interference of blood effectively. Thin iron films have been proven to be new materials for SPCDF detection,promoting a new mode to observe the enhanced fluorescence signals of different fluorophores by one scan. They should be useful for tracking the labled systems of multi-fluorophores in biological applications.展开更多

The system consists of fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy （FLIM） for surface imaging, diffusion reflection （DR） for deep-tissue imaging （up to 1 cm）, and metal-enhanced fluorescence （MEF）. We detected quenching in the fluorescent intensity （FI） for the conjugation of both gold nanospheres （GNS） and gold nanorods （GNRs） to Fluorescein, which has an excitation peak at a wavelength shorter than the surface plasmon resonance （SPR） of both types of GNPs. Enhanced FI was detected in conjugation to Rhodamine B （RhB） and Sulforhodamine B （SRB）, both with excitation peaks in the SPR regions of the GNPs. The enhanced FI was detected both in solution and in solid phantoms by the FLIM measurements. DR measurements detected the presence of GNRs within the solid phantoms by recording the dropped rates of light scattering in wavelengths corresponding to the absorption spectra of the GNRs. With the inclusion of MEF, this promising dual-mode imaging technique enables efficient and sensitive molecular and functional imaging.展开更多
