Overview
Imports Becker & Hickl SDT fluorescence-lifetime imaging data into The importer requires Bio-Formats bfopen(). The bfmatlab library must Each detected SDT image plane is loaded into the third dimension of The third dimension represents FLIM time-bin or image-plane index, IDCubePro assigns indices 1:N to the time-bin/plane axis.
Bio-Formats metadata are preserved when available.
Unlike many other IDCubePro importers, the FLIM SDT importer does not automatically save a converted MAT file.
Workflow
1. Select the Becker & Hickl SDT file.
2. IDCubePro loads the planes using Bio-Formats.
3. Inspect the resulting time-bin stack.
4. Save the converted dataset manually if needed.
The axis displayed by IDCubePro represents time-bin/plane index and must not be interpreted as wavelength.
