Frequently Asked Questions
We always like to hear from users in the field of Time-Resolved Spectroscopy and Imaging. We know that this is a relatively new field so its not always easy to find information about the subject. In these pages we try to answer some of the questions we hear most often from the  people who contact us at PRS. We have also come up with some of our own which we hope you will find useful.

If you have a question about Time-Gated measurements why not email us at the address at the top of this page and we will try our best to find the answer and hopefully add to our FAQ pages.

We have now divided the FAQs up into several sections so that questions relating to a given field are brought together on the same page.

Imaging FAQ

There are a number of different technologies currently availaible for Time-Gated Imaging (TGi) and the related technique Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIm)

Excitation FAQ

Every Time-Gated Imaging system needs an excitation source. Different light sources present different advantages and challenges so it can be a difficult process finding the right one for your system. Here we discuss the various options i

Probes FAQ

There is a growing range of fluorescent compounds which can be measured by Time-Gated Imaging. Here we take a llook at the different types of molecules that have been studied and look at their potential and actual applications.
