Abstract
A microscopy imaging system comprises a fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) system comprising a pulsed light source configured to direct a plurality of excitation light pulses onto a sample, a photo detector configured to detect emitted fluorescent photons created by the plurality of excitation pulses interacting with the sample, and a FLIM data acquisition system configured to measure the time interval between the excitation light pulses and the detected emitted fluorescent photons, a scanning light microscopy (SLM) system comprising a SLM data acquisition system, a fast scanning mirror and a slow scanning mirror, wherein the mirrors are configured to scan the light pulses across the sample; and a data processing system communicatively connected to the FLIM and SLM systems. Microscopy imaging methods are also disclosed.
