- Abstract
Multilabel fluorescence imaging is essential for the visualization of complex systems, though a major challenge is the limited width of the useable spectral window. Here, we present a new method, exNEEMO, that enables per-pixel quantification of spectrally-overlapping fluorophores based on their light-induced dynamics, in a way that is compatible with a very broad range of timescales over which these dynamics may occur. Our approach makes use of intra-exposure modulation of the excitation light to distinguish the different emitters given their reference responses to this modulation. We use the approach to simultaneously image four green photochromic fluorescent proteins at the full spatial resolution of the imaging., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 The Authors.
