FLCS filter : how does it work? Red: background Blue: decay Fluorescence decay Lifetime filters Böhmer et al., Chem Phys Lett 2002 Kapusta et al., J Fluoresc 2007 Auto- and Cross-correlation using lifetime filters
Dual color GFP and mCherry FLCS : methodology GFP excited with pulsed laser = decay filter on green detector Selecting photons coming from GFP fluorescence decay Removing background photons (detector after pulses, shot noise…) mCherry excited with continuous laser = background filter on red detector Selecting photons coming from mCherry Removing photons coming from GFP fluorescence decay Cross-correlation analysis using Symphotime software from Picoquant Cross-talk free cross-correlation curve
