This paper presents a high-speed optical scanning microscope capable of capturing time-resolved images across 512 spectral and 32 time channels in a single acquisition, achieving a potential frame rate of -0.2 frames per second (256 × 256 image pixels). The system overcomes data volume and low imaging speed challenges through integrated system control electronics and on-chip processing. It enables the creation of detailed data cubes for each pixel, facilitating the study of diverse time-resolved light-driven phenomena. The system's performance is demonstrated through imaging various samples, including human lung tissue, showcasing its potential for analyzing complex organic structures and revealing subtle spectral or lifetime changes.
