Abstract
Abstract Spectrally resolved fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) with high spatial precision offers comprehensive information on species localization and behavior. It is challenging to resolve weak fluorescence signals in multiple dimensions (spatial, spectral, and temporal) at high frame rates, especially in dynamic live cell processes, as photobleaching and phototoxicity limit acceptable photon count rates. We developed a multiplexed confocal FLIM technique, which uses a prism-based imaging spectrometer to separate a 10 × 10 array of confocal foci into their spectral components. This allows the sampling of the spectra by a time-resolved image sensor to produce a multispectral time-resolved data set used for generating multispectral lifetime images. This system captures 300 × 300 pixel FLIM containing 12 unique spectral bands covering a 450–700 nm spectral range in 1.8 s of exposure. Its performance was demonstrated in fixed stained samples and in multispectral imaging of FLIM-FRET in live cells.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
