Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to determine the fluorescence lifetime in an efficient manner. In the context of a method electric charge generated by fluorescence emission during two overlapping time periods of a single measurement cycle is stored to form first and second measures. The electric charge generated during that segment of the two time periods during which the two time periods overlap is incorporated in the first measure and in the second measure. The method also includes determining a fluorescence lifetime based at least in part upon the first and second measures.
