Label discrimination is challenging in fluorescence microscopy due to broad spectra and narrow lifetime distribution. Here, the authors introduce extra kinetic dimensions by illuminating reversibly photoswitchable fluorophores with different intensities, and discriminate 20 spectrally similar fluorophores.
