#TechniqueTuesday — #IRF: your instrument’s temporal fingerprint. Laser pulse width, detector uncertainty, and TDC effects shape the decay you measure. Accounting for the Instrument Response Function helps separate your sample’s #fluorescencelifetime from instrumental effects.

U-SCREEN takes shape. 🔬 Our collaboration with @scuolanormale enters its operational phase: a joint laboratory at the NEST centre in Pisa, dedicated to #nanomedicine innovation. The spaces will be fully operational in early 2027 — but the science has already started. #USCREEN

📦 The FRAME microscope from @OpenUc2 has arrived at #FLIMLABS! Combining a rigid structure with modular optics, FRAME can integrate our FLIM add-on to enable #fluorescencelifetimeimaging. Unboxing and first measurements — here's our newest arrival in action!

🔬 #FluorescenceLifetimeFriday — A first look through #FRAME! This is the very first image we've acquired using the FRAME microscope from @OpenUc2, which recently arrived at #FLIMLABS! Our collaboration with the #openUC2 team is already producing exciting results!

For years, #FLIM was often bundled into large multipurpose platforms: powerful, but costly and complex. Democratizing FLIM means changing that — reducing cost, complexity, integration hurdles and portability limits. #Accessibility is an engineering direction.

A new member has joined the #FLIMLABS team! 👋 Welcome, Maria! Already diving into new technologies and ideas about what’s next for #FLIM. 🔬 Great to have you with us — excited for what’s ahead! #Microscopy #LifeSciences #fluorescencelifetimeimaging

🔧 #TechniqueTuesday — #galvo scanners: moving light, not the sample. Tiny mirrors steer the laser across the sample for faster, smoother scanning with less mechanical stress. On modular platforms like @OpenUc2, that means compact, stable scanning for more practical #FLIM.

Issue 04 of #LIFETIME is out! ⏱️ “The Time Layer” explores how science measures events too fast to see — from accelerators and synchrotron light to #TCSPC, pawFLIM, quantum photonics, and #FLIM. Read the full issue: flimlabs.com/lifetime/septem…

Sometimes the best tool for deep tech is not a laptop. It’s chalk and a blackboard. To democratize #FLIM, we first need to explain it clearly and make #fluorescencelifetimeimaging feel less like a specialist-only technique. The goal? Turning FLIM into an everyday tool.

🔧 #TechniqueTuesday — pawFLIM. More photons = more reliable #lifetime, but also longer acquisitions and more light on the sample. #pawFLIM uses wavelet-based denoising to balance spatial and molecular resolution: cleaner #FLIM with fewer photons. @GreccoHernan @maurosilber

"We measure #time because, for the same level of accuracy, it is the simplest and most cost-effective way to understand a phenomenon — even when that phenomenon has little to do with time itself" - Prof. Nicola Lusardi (@polimi). Full #interview in our end-of-month magazine.

#Jena, that’s a wrap! We’re happy to close the #FLIM MicroSpectroscopy workshop with such a positive feeling. These two days were a great opportunity to share ideas, test workflows, and continue strengthening our collaboration with the amazing @OpenUc2 team.

#QuantumPhotonics, in one modular workflow. ⚛️ Picosecond-pulsed laser + #SPAD single-photon detector + TDC Felix TimeTagger + #TEDIEL software. The #laser pulses, the SPAD catches individual photons, the time tagger records when they arrive, the software handles analysis.

Day one in #Jena is done! Great first day of the #FLIM MicroSpectroscopy workshop with @OpenUc2 and @MEDIASystemLab. #Science has to be rigorous but also fun! We often forget that curiosity and play are part of the process too. Ready for day two!

#FluorescenceLifetimeFriday 🧪 What does 3-component unmixing with #FLIM phasors actually look like? We built a small #Python tool to explore it visually—making phasor geometry and unmixing easy to understand and play with. Curious to try it? DM us!

One week to go until FLIM MicroSpectroscopy in #Jena 🔬 On September 22–23, we’ll join @OpenUc2, @MEDIASystemLab, and @LichtwerkstattJ at the Abbe Center of #Photonics for two days dedicated to #FLIM and spectroscopy. See you in Jena!

📸Shooting day at the office. New product visuals in progress at #FLIMLABS — because scientific instruments deserve clear images as much as clear specifications. More content coming soon - stay tuned! #FLIM #Photonics #microscopy

#Science in the smallest intervals ⏱️ Most science looks at what is there. Some of the most powerful measurements ask something else: when did it happen? Two regions can look equally bright and still behave differently in #time. #FLIM #fluorescencelifetimeimaging #microscopy

Office life at #FLIMLABS: sometimes it means stopping everything for a whiteboard lecture on #TCSPC✍️ Laser pulses, photon arrivals, time delays — and the timing principles behind #fluorescencelifetimeimaging. #FLIM #Microscopy

#TechniqueTuesday — #TCSPC: counting photons, measuring time. Instead of measuring how bright the #fluorescence is, TCSPC measures when each #photon arrives after the laser pulse. Collect enough of them and you rebuild the fluorescence decay curve — and from there, the lifetime.
