Significance: 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based fluorescence guidance in conventional neurosurgical microscopes is limited to strongly fluorescent tumor tissue. Therefore, more sensitive, intrasurgical 5-ALA fluorescence visualization is needed.Aim: Macroscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) was performed ex vivo on 5-ALA-labeled human glioma tissue through a surgical microscope to evaluate its feasibility and to compare it to fluorescence intensity imaging.Approach: Frequency-domain FLIM was integrated into a surgical microscope, which enabled parallel wide-field white-light and fluorescence imaging. We first characterized our system and performed imaging of two samples of suspected low-grade glioma, which were compared to histopathology.Results: Our imaging system enabled macroscopic FLIM of a 6.5 x 6.5 mm(2) field of view at spatial resolutions
