-The software offers the possibility to fit the data using a n-exponential tailfit, n-exponential reconvolution or rapid reconvolution fit. A tailfit can be used when the fitted lifetimes are significantly longer than the instrument response function. A reconvolution fit is usually preferable, because the complete decay is fitted, while for a tailfit, the start of the fitting range is usually a bit arbitrary. A rapidReconvolution fit is needed, if the count rates, with which the image was acquired are significantly above the Pile Up limit. It is also needed, if the pulse frequency is too high for the fluorescence decay to decrease to the background level before the end of the decay window (often, this is the case for 2-Photon-Excitation data acquired with a TiSa-laser with 80MHz repetition rate). Check out the rapidFLIM-analysis tutorial for this case.\\+The software offers the possibility to fit the data using a n-exponential tailfit, n-exponential reconvolution or rapid reconvolution fit.
