    Abstract:
    Bioluminescence and chemiluminescence have emerged in the last decade as a major tool for biochemical and biological studies. Several very sensitive assays have been developed in our laboratory such as enzymatic assays, immunoassays and detection of nucleic acids. The use of a new instrumentation allowing to dimensional photon counting has permit the emergence of new investigations at the cellular level. In addition to the advantages of sensitivity and the real-time non-invasive nature of this detection system, the imaging potential of using low-light and photon counting video cameras has been particularly influential in establishing its ascendence over more traditional systems. This review provides a reflection in this field through several applications in life sciences.
