When a molecule absorbs a photon of appropriate energy, a chain of photophysical events
ensues, such as internal conversion or vibrational relaxation (loss of energy in the absence …

Although fluorescence microscopy permeates all of cell and molecular biology, most
biologists have little experience with the underlying photophysical phenomena …

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is a key fluorescence microscopy technique to map the
environment and interaction of fluorescent probes. It can report on photophysical events that …

In vivo fluorescence imaging uses a sensitive camera to detect fluorescence emission from
fluorophores in whole-body living small animals. To overcome the photon attenuation in …

A facile strategy to synthesize water‐soluble fluorescent gold nanoclusters (Au NCs)
stabilized with the bidentate ligand dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) is reported. The DHLA …

In fluorescence microscopy, the fluorescence emission can be characterised not only by
intensity and position, but also by lifetime, polarization and wavelength. Fluorescence …

Compressed sensing (CS) is a signal processing approach that solves ill-posed inverse
problems, from under-sampled data with respect to the Nyquist criterium. CS exploits …

Visualization of biological processes and pathologic conditions at the cellular and tissue
levels largely relies on the use of fluorescence intensity signals from fluorophores or their …

A fully-integrated single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) and time-to-digital converter (TDC)
array for high-speed fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) in standard 130 nm …

The study of biological systems in their real environmental conditions is crucial to decipher
the true image of structures and processes underlying their functionality. In this regard …
