Overview

FLIMKit handles FLIM data from FLIM microscope systems and common TCSPC / time-tag formats (PicoQuant .ptu, Becker & Hickl .sdt, ISS time-tag, Photonscore .photons). It's designed as a replacement for FLIM microscope software, with two main workflows:

Workflow Description
Reconvolution fitting Mono/bi/tri-exponential lifetime fitting with full IRF deconvolution, per-pixel and summed modes, multi-tile ROI stitching, and batch processing
Lifetime distribution fitting Gaussian and Lorentzian continuous lifetime distributions (α(τ) models), per-ROI and per-pixel maps with GPU acceleration
Phasor analysis Calibrated phasor plots with interactive elliptical cursors, automatic peak detection, two-component decomposition, and session save/load

Both are accessible through a desktop GUI, guided terminal UI, CLI scripts, or the Python API.

Imaging files are reconstructed into a per-pixel decay cube (Y, X, H) from their scan / frame / line / pixel markers, and the intensity image is that cube summed over the time axis. Files without imaging markers (point, single-spot, FCS) are fit as a single decay with no image.
