    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for investigating a sample with regard to the lifetime of an excited state, in particular a fluorescence lifetime, and/or with regard to a property of a sample which is correlated with a lifetime of an excited state, in particular with a fluorescence lifetime, a sample region being illuminated with a sequence of excitation light pulses. The method is characterized in that the light quantity and/or number of photons of the detected light, in particular fluorescent light, proceeding from the sample region is measured temporally between the excitation light pulses exclusively within a detection time window in each case, at least two detection time windows having different temporal lengths.

    Abstract: A method for counting photons using a photomultiplier includes obtaining a measurement signal from a raw signal produced by the photomultiplier by correcting the raw signal for a noise signal and/or an offset, wherein an incident photon produces a pulse in the raw signal. The measurement signal is integrated over time to form an analog integrated measurement signal. A number of photons that are incident in the photomultiplier is ascertained by comparing a value of the analog integrated measurement signal to an integral proportionality value which corresponds to a specific number of photons incident in the photomultiplier.

    Abstract: A fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy method with time-correlated single-photon counting includes using excitation light pulses separated in each case by a measurement interval to excite a sample to emit fluorescence photons. A detector signal that represents the captured fluorescence photons is generated. Detection times are determined based on the detector signal. Imaging is performed based on the detection times. The detection times of all captured fluorescence photons are compiled in a first data memory, common to a plurality of image pixels. The detection times of only those fluorescence photons which were captured in a predetermined number within the respective measurement intervals are compiled in a second data memory, common to the same plurality of image pixels. The detection times compiled in the data memories are combined within a calculation step. The results of the calculation step are stored in a third data memory.
