Example 2
In the present embodiment, the imaging unit 32 and the imaging analysis unit 33 are used. The camera unit 32 is a digital camera, and real-time measurement and analysis are performed by a camera analysis unit 33 connected to the digital camera. The purpose of this example was to determine the relationship between green fluorescent protein concentration and reading over a relatively large concentration range. The measurement conditions of this example, the shooting conditions of the digital camera (including aperture and exposure time), the kind of green fluorescent protein and its corresponding filter were the same as in example 1, wherein the linear regression equation for determining the actual concentration was determined from example 1 above, and the linear regression equation was: 0.0532x +16.628, R20.9803. And if the linear regression equation is unknown, repeating the steps 2-4 to draw a standard curve to obtain the linear regression equation.
In this example, the relationship between the concentration and the reading is verified by adjusting the concentration of green fluorescent protein and measuring the reading of green fluorescent wearing white at different concentrations, and the specific process is as follows:
and 5: drawing a standard curve by using the fluorescence value detected in the above example 1 and the concentration of the escherichia coli to obtain a linear regression equation;

Through the above steps 5 to 7, the test objects with different concentrations (GFP amounts) were subjected to imaging analysis, and the obtained data are shown in table 4 below and fig. 10. The results show that the green fluorescent protein concentration is in a good linear relationship with the reading. The fluorescence imaging analysis system of the present invention requires a linear assay to determine the linear range of different fluorochromes before each fluorochrome is measured. If the conventional detection is performed on the fluorescent substance under the fixed detection condition, the steps 2-4 are not required to be adjusted after the initial setting, and the linear regression equation obtained does not need to be adjusted.

Example 4
In this example, the detection hardware platform was the same as that of example 3, and various analyses were performed by fluorescence emitted from SYBR Green I in combination with DNA. An Eppendorf octaplex containing a SYBR Green I + DNA solution was placed in the fluorescence imaging assay system of the invention. The image processing unit 332 automatically divides the acquired image equally into 8 parts, calculates the fluorescence signal of each part, and gives a fluorescence value. As shown in FIG. 12, the highlighted area in the graph is the excitation light generated by the green fluorescent substance in the test object, and the negative/positive result is shown with reference to the set sample reading as MARK.
