Multiplexed fluorescence imaging is limited by spectral overlap, whereas fluorescence lifetime provides an orthogonal encoding dimension. We replace genetically fused HaloTags with recombinant nanobody-HaloTag constructs applied as immunofluorescence reagents and determine a lifetime palette. Integrating lifetime and spectral encoding enables up to eight targets in a single acquisition and supports multiplexed imaging in cells and tissue using a simple OneStep labeling strategy compatible with fluorescent proteins, STED nanoscopy, and any standard laboratory antibody.
