Abstract
A method for determining fluorescence values {φispe}i∈{1, 2, . . . , I} of a set of I fluorescent microparticles {μPi}i∈{1, 2, . . . , I} of a multiplexed analysis, the microparticles being in a monolayer arrangement, includes acquiring a digital fluorescence image of the set of fluorescent microparticles {μPi}i∈{1, 2, . . . , I}; and computing, for each fluorescent microparticle μPi in the set of fluorescent microparticles {μPi}i∈{1, 2, . . . , I}, a fluorescence value φimeas based only on pixels of the acquired image corresponding to said fluorescent microparticle μPi. The method includes computing the fluorescence value φispe of the fluorescent microparticle μPi by correcting its first fluorescence φimeas by a cross-talk fluorescence contribution φicross in the first fluorescence φimeas from other fluorescent microparticles {μPj}j≠i in the set of fluorescent microparticles {μPi}i∈{1, 2, . . . , I}.
