Popis: We report the characterisation of gated optical image intensifiers for fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), evaluating the performance of several different prototypes that culminate in a new design that provides improved spatial resolution conferred b y the addition of a magnetic field to reduce the lateral spread of photoelectrons on their path between the photocathode and microchannel plate, and higher signal to noise ratio conferred by longer time gates. We also present a methodology to compare these systems and their capabilities, including the quantitative readouts of F ö rster resonant energy transfer (FRET).
