Abstract :
This paper presents an efficient measurement system for a low-level light detection, emitted by fluorescent dye. The system setup and measuring method has been discussed. Silicon photomultiplier, which is called Multi Pixel Photon Counting developed by Hamamatsu, has been used as a light detector. Tests were made for fluorescein specimens in 1.5ml volume PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) cuvettes positioned in a specially designed optical system. Solutions of this dye were prepared in TRIS buffer with pH factor equal 8. Range of concentrations which was used for measurements is from 1ug/ml to about 1pg/ml.
