The application of a 64x32 SPAD-based CMOS image sensor for single molecule spectroscopy is presented. Fluorescence amplitudes and lifetimes are measured simultaneously with correlation of fluorescence singal for each pixel. The system is suitable to spatially resolve diffusion constants and concentrations of single molecules in total internal reflection (TIR) excitation of the sample. An image splitter has been added to simultaneously perform both FLIM and FCS of diffusing fluorophores in aqueous solution in two wavelength or polarization channels. The system is suitable for particle size measurement, fast concentration determination and imaging of molecular dynamic processes.
