Abstract

We developed quantification method based on the concept of candela in physics. The measurement of fluorescence signal from a nude mouse in the research of molecular biology. In the measurement of the optical signal with CCD, the quantification method for photon counts based on bio-luminescence imaging technique can provide comparative reference data. In this paper, we described theoretical derivation of our proposed concept. We hope this method could be a useful standard reference for quantitative date analysis in optical imaging.
