A fluorescence spectrometer is used to study the fluorescence properties of a sample. It excites a sample with a specific wavelength of light and measures the intensity and spectral distribution of the resulting fluorescence emission.

We spoke to Georgios about his time here at Edinburgh Instruments and also his time out side of work. Here at Edinburgh Instruments, we are proud of all our employees for all they do behind the scenes, so we thought it was time to put them in the spotlight. This series does exactly that; you get a sneak peek into

The Stern-Volmer plot is used to study the interaction dynamics between a fluorescent emitter and a quencher.

In this Map of the Month blog, we discuss how mapping can be used to visualise the changes in the Raman spectrum of a sample when an external variable, such as temperature or polarisation angle, is applied.

Fluorescence quenching is the decrease in fluorescence intensity of an emitter due to interaction with a quencher.

How exactly do you obtain a great Raman spectrum of graphene? This month's "20 Years of Graphene" instalment tells you exactly how to set up your Raman microscope to take a great Raman spectrum. 

Learn how to make your own solar eclipse pin hole viewer so you can safely watch any total or partial eclipse.
