Molecular luminescence imaging

Imaging techniques relying on different luminescence processes are powerful bioanalytical tools for life sciences. They are used in multiplexed quantitative assays in different analytical formats and to assess the spatial distribution of a given target molecule, chemical or biochemical process in macro- and microsamples, including the in vivo evaluation of biological and pathological processes. Here, recent progresses in luminescence imaging techniques are described, including new labels for fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence and bio-chemiluminescence, multiplexed imaging microscopy techniques and whole-body luminescence imaging in live animals.
