About the project

Welcome to FLIM LABS Spectroscopy, a Python application designed to analyze the fluorescence intensity decay as a function of time. 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. Whether your focus is on rigorous data analysis or dynamic visualizations, Spectroscopy serves as a flexible tool for the precise measurement and exploration of fluorescence intensity decay profile and lifetimes distributions.

Built With

• Python
• PyQt6
• pyqtgraph
• matplotlib
• numpy
• scipy
• flim-labs

Getting Started

To directly test the application, skipping the prerequisites and installation requirements you can download an installer at this link (Note: you still need to have the FLIM LABS acquisition card).
