Untitled[edit]

Could someone define all the variables in the second equation in the "Fluorescence lifetimes" section, please.

It would make it much more helpful to those who are new to the topic. Thanks!

How long does it take to capture an image, and what does the time depend on ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:59, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FLIM protocol suggests 60 sec and vary to get about 10^5 photons (per pixel ?) - Rod57 (talk) 12:09, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (January 2018)[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120909110031/http://loci.wisc.edu/biophotonics/fluorescence-excited-state-lifetime-imaging to http://loci.wisc.edu/biophotonics/fluorescence-excited-state-lifetime-imaging/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Fluorescence lifetimes wrong[edit]

I'm not an expert in this stuff, but I do know my statistical physics. The single exponential decay would be a limiting case only. - If there are parallel observable decays, you would get a sum of exponentials. - If there are serial decays, you can get differences of exponentials (depends on which part of the pathways is fluorescent).

So the statement in this section seems wrong, and should be corrected, or conditions for this approximation mentioned.
