Abstract
Pulse sampling fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (PS-FLIm) is a powerful noninvasive technique with applications to basic science and translational clinical research. However, little is known about the photon-economy of PS-FLIm. We report the first study about the photon-economy of PS-FLIm. We found that for in vivo measurements, the photon rate of multispectral PS-FLIm ranges from 1 to 5 GHz (three channels), order of magnitude higher than that of TCSPC and the F-value of PS-FLIm is less performant than that of TCSPC. This study is a first step toward understanding the photon-economy of PS-FLIm and will facilitate the optimization of PS-FLIm for future clinical use.
