Bioluminescence Imaging

Bioluminescence Imaging (BLI) is a scientific technique used to visualize and study biological processes in living organisms. It leverages the natural glow produced by certain organisms, like fireflies and some deep-sea creatures, through biochemical reactions. In research, scientists introduce a bioluminescent marker into cells or tissues, which emits light in response to specific stimuli. By capturing this light with specialized cameras, researchers can monitor cellular activity, track disease progression, or evaluate the effectiveness of treatments in real-time. This non-invasive method provides valuable insights in fields like cancer research and drug development.
