Time-Tagging Captures Cellular Activity with Single-Photon Microscopy GENOA, Italy, Feb. 3, 2023 — BrightEyes-TTM, an open-source time-tagging module (TTM) developed at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), enables scientists to observe the dynamic processes of molecules inside living cells over time, at a thousandth of a millisecond scale. BrightEyes-TTM can be used to study the variations that occur at the cellular level when a healthy cell becomes diseased. The module is designed to enable implementation of fluorescence single-photon laser-scanning microscopy (SP-LSM)
