Multispectral/hyperspectral fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (λFLIM) is a promising tool for studying functional and structural biological processes. The rich information content provided by a multidimensional dataset is often in contrast with the acquisition speed. In this work, we develop and experimentally demonstrate a wide-field λFLIM setup, based on a novel time-resolved 18×1 single-photon avalanche diode array detector working in a single-pixel camera scheme, which parallelizes the spectral detection, reducing measurement time. The proposed system, which implements a single-pixel camera with a compressive sensing scheme, represents an optimal microscopy framework towards the design of λFLIM setups.
