#quantum is here! Why not collect #fluorescence #photon-by-photon in your laser-scanning #microscope? We developed the #BrightEyes_TTM, an #opensource data acquisition system able to do it!

The BrightEyes-TTM as an open-source time-tagging module for democratising single-photon microscopy - Nature Communications

The authors developed an open-source, low-cost, multi-channel time-tagging module for fluorescence lifetime image scanning microscopy and correlation spectroscopy that can tag in parallel multiple single-photon events with 30 ps precision.

Our time-tagging #DAQ module can collect single-photon signals from 25 independent channels and reference signals from 3 channels. We showed how this module combined with a #SPAD array allows us to perform #FLISM and #FLFS. (2/5)

We characterized the #BrightEyes_TTM. We can reach a single-shot precision of 30 ps, 4 ns dead-time, and an "infinite" range in all channels, with a total flux of up to 125 MHz. (3/5)

Fluorescence has never been so informative! Thanks to the synergy between the #BrightEyes_TTM and the #SPAD array detector, we can perform #FLFS on living cells to simultaneously follow different dynamics parameters and fluorescence lifetime. (4/5)
