Schematic of OCT_FLIM system. Green line represents the excitation beam for exogenous FLIM; Blue line is the excitation beam for endogenous FLIM; Olive line is the emission; Maroon line is the beam for OCT. Note that overlapping co-linear beams are shown as parallel lines for clarity. The thin grey line is the trigger path.
