    Abstract

    We developed single-image fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (siFLIM), a method for acquiring quantitative lifetime images from a single exposure. siFLIM takes advantage of a new generation of dedicated cameras that simultaneously record two 180°-phase-shifted images, and it allows for video-rate lifetime imaging with minimal phototoxicity and bleaching. siFLIM is also inherently immune to artifacts stemming from rapid cellular movements and signal transients.
