Abstract

Significance: Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) of the metabolic co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) [NAD(P)H] is a popular method to monitor single-cell metabolism within unperturbed, living 3D systems. However, FLIM of NAD(P)H has not been performed in a light-sheet geometry, which is advantageous for rapid imaging of cells within live 3D samples.

Keywords: autofluorescence; fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy; light-sheet microscopy; nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate); single-photon avalanche diode.
