Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is a powerful tool which is increasingly being used for biomedical applications. We have developed a miniaturised chip on tip FLIM system suitable for widefield diagnostic imaging. It is based around a high dynamic range 120 x 128 pixel single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array specifically designed for FLIM endoscopy [1]. The small footprint (~ 1 x 1 mm) of the device and streamlined electronic configuration mean it can be mounted on the distal end of an endoscope probe, unmounted and over 1 m away from the control board. This removes the need for scanning optics at the proximal end of the system and/or for an imaging fibre. We present results for this system on a range of ex vivo biological samples, showing that it can achieve excellent FLIM contrast at near video framerate in real time.
