About The Project

Welcome to FLIM LABS Intensity Tracing, a Python application designed to analyze single-photon counts as a function of time and plotting the intensity trace. Facilitated by an underlying data processor developed in Rust, responsible for data retrieval from the hardware component, this application enables real-time data analysis and visualization. Users can seamlessly transition between the graphical user interface (GUI) and console mode to navigate through the analytical capabilities. Whether your focus is on rigorous data analysis or dynamic visualizations, Intensity Tracing serves as a flexible tool for the precise measurement and exploration of photon intensity.
