Fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy (FLIO) is an emerging technology, which enables the time-resolved in-vivo measurement of fluorescence emitted by endogenous fluorophores within the retina. The decay time of the fluorescence is a characteristic parameter for fluorescent molecules and their environment, and therefore FLIO is a promising tool to detect and assess varying metabolic states of different areas in the retina. The system is based on a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope with an implemented real-time eye tracking system. The fluorophores are excited by picosecond laser pulses and the fluorescence emission is detected using time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) technology.
