NADH fluorescence lifetime distribution in ZsG, LN1, and LN2 cells. (A) Two-photon fluorescence microscopy intensity images showing NADH fluorescence of ZsG, LN1, and LN2 cells excited at 740 nm. (B) FLIM map of ZsG, LN1, and LN2 represented by a color-coded scale, by which pixels with a high free/bound NADH ratio are in purple, and pixels with a low free/bound NADH ratio are in red. All the lifetimes ratios are related to a specific color of the scale. (C) Phasor fingerprint, representing the mean S and G position of each image phasor distribution. (D) Mean S (left) and mean G (right) position of each cell line lifetimes distribution on phasor plot. Values represent mean ± SD; N = 5, with five images each; ***P < 0.0001. All the images were obtained on a two-photon microscope (Nikon Eclipse TE2000-U) and Plan-Apochromat 60×/1.20 water immersion objective lens (Nikon). Data were acquired on VistaVision software and Alba FLIM instrument (ISS) and analyzed on SimFCS software.
