NovaISM
Brand: PicoQuant | Category: Nanotechnology
NovaISM is image scanning microscopy and FLIM analysis software that is integrated with the Luminosa microscope and optimised for the PDA-23 SPAD array detector. Working from the summed signal of all 23 SPAD pixels, pixel reassignment alone raises resolution by roughly 30%, and combined with computational sectioning and deconvolution the software delivers up to 1.7 times higher resolution than conventional confocal imaging. Computational sectioning removes out of focus contributions to lift contrast, and it can run simultaneously with lifetime species separation. Raw time tags from all 23 PDA-23 pixels remain accessible, batch analysis covers series measurements and multi-ROI workflows, and results export as BMP, PNG, OME-TIFF and SVG.

More from Instrument Software
- QuCoA
QuCoA is an integrated acquisition and analysis package for PicoQuant time tagging and TCSPC electronics, aimed at experiments built around photon coincidences. It calculates g(2) antibunching correlations under continuous wave or pulsed excitation, with fitting models for single emitters with and without shelving states, pulsed excitation models and detector resolution corrections. Coincidence counting is defined through user set logical filters using AND, OR and NOT across detection channels and markers within configurable time gates. A scripting language allows custom analysis routines, and the software can be driven remotely over TCP/IP while acquiring and visualising data in real time.
- NovaFLIM
NovaFLIM is PicoQuant's analysis software for fluorescence lifetime imaging, with GPU acceleration applied to FLIM, FLIM-FRET and anisotropy data. Analysis modes span fast lifetime determination, multi-exponential decay fitting, phasor plots and pattern matching for species separation and multiplexing, alongside FLIM-FRET analysis and anisotropy imaging. Batch analysis handles z-stacks, time-lapse series and stitched images, and ROI selection can be made reproducible using histograms of the fitted parameters. ISM-FLIM is supported in combination with PDA-23 SPAD detection.
- snAPI
snAPI is a free Python wrapper for PicoQuant's time tagging and TCSPC electronics, backed by a high performance C++ core so that Python flexibility does not cost processing speed. Measurement classes cover Histogram for TCSPC distributions and lifetime analysis, Time Trace for count rate tracking, Correlation for auto and cross correlation such as g² and FCS, and Unfold and Raw for direct access to photon event streams. Real time manipulators handle coincidence detection across channels, herald based event filtering, channel merging, timestamp delays and sub-stream temporal filtering. It also supports White Rabbit multi-device synchronisation with sub-nanosecond precision, PTU file reading for offline work and photon number resolution, runs on Windows and Linux, and ships with ready to run quantum optics demonstration code including Bell states, GHZ, BB84 QKD and boson sampling.
