Is it possible to attach a band pass filter to the camera lens that
blocks all frequencies other than those associated with the fluorescence?
Can higher intensity images be obtained using extended integration time
for the camera? A polarizing filter may reduce reflections.

Subject: Colour extraction using Image J
Hi,
I have been using Image J to analyse images of a fluorescent molecule taken
in
ambient light (it is not possible to capture the images in complete
darkness).
In the images that are obtained it is impossible to see the fluorescent
light.
So far I have been taking an image of the source when there is fluorescence
present and then taking a second image after the fluorescence has decayed.
I
then use Image J to subtract the two images. This has been working well, I
can
see the fluorescent light. However, things like reflections interfere with
the
results as these can show up as bright patches in the subtracted image
masking
the true results.
Ideally I would like to be able to extract the light (wavelength, or
waveband)
of interest from the image. Is there a way of doing this with Image J?
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer or suggestions for
another type of software that could do this if Image J does not have these
capibilities.
Thanks,
Anne-Marie
