Over the past few years there has been a dramatic improvement in microscopy acquisition techniques, in effective imaging modalities as well as raw hardware performance. As the microscopist's available tools become more sophisticated and diverse—e.g., time-lapse, Z sectioning, multispectra, lifetime, nth harmonic, polarization, and many combinations thereof—we face a corresponding increase in complexity in the software for understanding and interpreting the resultant data. With lifetime imaging, for example, it is overwhelming to study the raw numbers; instead, an exponential curve-fitting algorithm must be applied to extract meaningful lifetime values from the mass of photon counts recorded by the instrument.
