Single photon imaging (FEL):

PlusTPX3CamIt can be single photon sensitive. In this configuration, the camera is used in conjunction with an existing image intensifier. Applications include wide field of view time-dependent single photon counting(TCSPC)Imaging, phosphorescence lifetime imaging, and any application that requires time-resolved single photon imaging.
