Beyond color: Fluorescence lifetime imaging distinguishes multiple proteins in living plant cells

Per Phys.org, fluorescent protein imaging is a research technique for tracking protein movement, localization, gene expression, and interactions in living cells. While multiplex imaging—analyzing multiple proteins simultaneously—has traditionally used fluorescent proteins emitting different colors, the publication reports that fluorescence lifetime imaging can distinguish multiple proteins beyond these color differences, though the article excerpt does not include details on the technique's mechanism or results.
