Optical imaging of chemical analytes such as CO2,[1] H2O2,[2] oxygen,[3] Ca2+,[4] or pH [5] invivo is a fast-growing field because these species can be observed and quantified over whole areas rather than at a single point of measurement. This feature is particularly important in biomedical sciences where large variations of such parameters can be found in even small areas (such as cells), and where sampling usually is impossible or would alter the actual concentration of the analyte (for example in the case of O2). The distribution of such species is most often visualized using luminescence-based readout techniques,[6] and these can be based on measurement of intensity,[7] fluorescence lifetime (FLIM),[1, 8] or of signals at two wavelengths (ratiometry),[9] for example. Referencing is mandatory to enable quantitative imaging and to eliminate effects caused by variations in the concentration and distribution of fluorescent probes.(For an introduction into methods for referencing, see the Supporting Information, Note 1.)Herein we introduce the first method for simultaneous imaging of two parameters with only one image acquired by a conventional digital camera. An LED array placed in front of the camera is used for photoexcitation. The camera here also acts as a rudimental spectrometer for ratiometric imaging with one excitation wavelength and multiple (three-wavelength) readout. A sensor film with immobilized indicator probes is employed rather than dissolved probes which have
