Redefining Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy
Redefining Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy Image Credit: Micha Weber/Shutterstock.com Conventional fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) relies on point-to-point scanning of a tightly focused illumination beam across the sample to form an image, impeding rapid imaging. To overcome this limitation, researchers from Japan and the USA have developed scan-less wide-field imaging methods that can image fluorescence lifetime at unprecedented speeds and capture ultrafast transient phenomena relevant to biomedical research and life sciences. FLIM is an imaging tech...
