Fit results for the TCSPC data acquired on p-terphenyl in Fig. 4c. For the confocal case, we use a bi-exponential fit with a 10 ps (fixed) component to account for the scatter noise. For the ZMW and the NR, we add a supplementary component to obtain a better fit. I_i are the relative intensities of each component and τ_avg denotes the intensity-averaged lifetime.
