Fluorescence lifetime imaging with a megapixel SPAD camera and neural network lifetime estimation

Pco.flim - Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Cmos Camera

Modulated electron-multiplied fluorescence lifetime imaging microscope: all-solid-state camera for fluorescence lifetime imaging.

We have built an all-solid-state camera that is directly modulated at the pixel level for frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) measurements. This novel camera eliminates the need for an image intensifier through the use of an application-specific charge coupled device design in a frequency-domain FLIM system. The first stage of evaluation for the camera has been carr...

Artificial neural network approaches for fluorescence lifetime imaging techniques.

A novel high-speed fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) analysis method based on artificial neural networks (ANN) has been proposed. In terms of image generation, the proposed ANN-FLIM method does not require iterative searching procedures or initial conditions, and it can generate lifetime images at least 180-fold faster than conventional least squares curve-fitting software tools. The advanta...

Tomographic fluorescence lifetime imaging

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a well-established technique (Bastiaens and Squire 1999; Berezovska et al. 2003; Selvin 2000; Vogel et al. 2006) that combines microscopic techniques with time-resolved detection to provide high-resolution lifetime images of thin tissue sections. This chapter concerns the in vivo time domain imaging of fluorescent contrast agents embedded in de...

Fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy

Imaging techniques based on retinal autofluorescence have found broad applications in ophthalmology because they are extremely sensitive and noninvasive. Conventional fundus autofluorescence imaging measures fluorescence intensity of endogenous retinal fluorophores. It mainly derives its signal from lipofuscin at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Fundus autofluorescence, however, can...
