Abstract The expansion of fluorescence bioimaging toward more complex systems and geometries requires analytical tools capable spanning widely varying timescales length scales, cleanly separating multiple fluorescent labels distinguishing these from background autofluorescence. Here we meet challenging objectives for multispectral microscopy, combining hyperspectral phasors linear unmixing to create Hybrid Unmixing (HyU). HyU is efficient robust, quantitative signal separation even at low illumination levels. In dynamic imaging developing zebrafish embryos in mouse tissue, was able efficiently unmix labels, demanding volumetric timelapse settings. permits high range imaging, allowing simultaneous bright exogenous dim endogenous labels.

Autofluorescence from endogenous biomolecules presents a significant challenge in immunofluorescence microscopy, often severely hindering the detection of specific fluorescence signals. While various techniques, including chemical- and quencher-based methods, photobleaching, digital-based protocols like autofluorescence image subtraction, have been developed to suppress autofluorescence, each approach has inherent limitations that restrict their efficacy across different tissue types. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) offers powerful alternative by leveraging distinct lifetime-spectrum profiles fluorophores differentiate signals autofluorescence. However, traditional FLIM methods are slow hampered its use for suppression routine applications. In this study, we demonstrate GPU-accelerated high-speed can effectively separate samples, achieving high throughput meet demands biomedical clinical workflows. Furthermore, our findings show FLIM-based method enhances correlation images with immunohistochemistry data, outperforming other chemically-assisted photobleaching hyperspectral imaging. These results highlight potential speed improve reliability significantly.
