How many photons do you need to measure a fluorescence lifetime? We are proud to release HILIGTHer, a #FLIM #DigitalTwin designed to simulate most features of time-domain FLIM systems, just announced at #FOM2026 and incredibly well-received. Beta release now available: github.com/HiLIGHT-HORI...

🚀Two steps forward. One clear direction for the #HILIGHTProject. ⚡Sub-nanosecond gating (<1 ns) now fully characterised at #FBK, and the HILIGHT detector has been coupled to a microscope for first photon-count images of Convallaria majalis 🌿. 📸 FLIM images coming next. hilighthorizon.eu/blog/
Important context: the attached images are photon count images, not fluorescence intensity images.

Experimental validation of two-section ridge and tapered lasers for the design of a monolithically mode-locked 200pJ source at 900nm for two-photon excitation fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy
We present a new monolithic multi-section laser diode concept for two-photon excitation microscopy (2ph-FLIM). This work is carry out in the new European project HILIGHT. We realized preliminary characterizations on laser diodes emitting at 900nm, providing the building blocks for designing this new laser.

Good morning BlueSky. #HILIGHT is an EU HORIZON project. The limitations of current light sources hinder progress in crucial areas. Conventional instruments confine #two-photon #microscopy and #time-resolved detection to specialised labs, impeding breakthroughs in #cancer #research and #diagnostics
