Abstract :
A whole-field fluorescence lifetime imaging system is presented which is based, for the first time, on an all-solid-state diode-pumped oscillator/amplifier system. Fluorescence lifetime imaging of unstained biological tissue in vitro using this instrument demonstrated contrast between different tissue constituents
