Global analysis techniques are described for frequency
domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) data. These algorithms exploit the prior knowledge that only a limited number of
fluorescent molecule species whose lifetimes do not vary spatially are
present in the sample. Two approaches to implementing the lifetime
invariance constraint are described. In the lifetime invariant fit
method, each image in the lifetime image sequence is spatially averaged
to obtain an improved signal-to-noise ratio. The lifetime estimations
from these averaged data are used to recover the fractional
contribution to the steady-state fluorescence on a pixel-by-pixel basis
for each species. The second, superior, approach uses a global analysis
technique that simultaneously fits the fractional contributions in all
pixels and the spatially invariant lifetimes. In frequency domain FLIM
the maximum number of lifetimes that can be fit with the global
analysis method is twice the number of lifetimes that can be fit with
conventional approaches. As a result, it is possible to discern two
lifetimes with a single-frequency FLIM setup. The algorithms were
tested on simulated data and then applied to separate the cellular
distributions of coexpressed green fluorescent proteins in living cells.
