Fig. 6. Lifetime signatures of 7 cellular components in lung cancerous tissue, including tumours, lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages, neutrophils, fibroblasts, and red blood cells (RBC).

DL-generated virtual H& E (b) has the capability to reconstruct those cell types from the FLIM image (a), enabling precise and timely identification of lifetime signatures of cellular components in the tissue. True H& E image is also presented for comparison. (d) demonstrates that 7 cellular components annotated have distinct lifetime values.
