Overview:

Fluorescense lifetime imaging microscopy is a technique for the production of image which is based on the difference of exponential decay rate of florescence from a fluorescent sample. This technique is usually used in multiphoton tomography, confocal microscopy and two photon excitation microscopy. Fluorescense lifetime imaging technique has meritorious features such as it is not dependent on the absorption of the sample, concentration, sample thickness or excitation intensity thus making it a robust technique in comparison to other intensity based methods. The technique is also associated with other parameters such as ion concentration, pH, oxygen concentration, and molecular binding which enhances the demand for fluorescence lifetime as the most desirable imaging technique for the analysis of cells and tissue samples. Manufacturers are constantly striving to achieve better resolution and accuracy in imaging of samples by providing excellent qualities of the components used in fluorescence lifetime imaging technique. Pulsed laser source, single photon sensitive detector, dichroic mirrors are essential for developing the fluorescence in a sample under investigation and time correlated single photon counting is used to measure the fluorescence lifetime.

As per the research citing of World Health Organization report 2015, cancer is one of the leading cause of death globally resulting in the death of approximately 8.8 million deaths in 2015, which is 1 in 6 deaths globally. Tremendous potential lies in the imaging devices and techniques industry to perform biopsy studies on the cancerous cells to understand the disease progression and suggest effective treatment regimen. Communicable diseases if not diagnosed early takes toll on people’s life. Fluorescense lifetime imaging technique can be used to study the cellular function of the vectors, in order to develop medicines that can kill the vectors and cure the infectious disease. The Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) has been used with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopic technology to gain images of molecular interactions at cellular level.
