Spectroscopy in Action: How to Measure Absolute Photoluminescence with an Integrating Sphere

Edit Content

Join Dr Annaa Gakamsky and Dr Grant Cumming, for our upcoming webinar exploring How to Measure Absolute Photoluminescence with an Integrating Sphere.

Measuring absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) used to be a challenging and time-consuming process — especially for solid or opaque samples.

In this live webinar, Grant Cumming and Anna Gakamsky from Edinburgh Instruments will show you how the use of an integrating sphere has revolutionised PLQY measurements, making them faster, simpler, and more accurate than ever before. Learn how to measure absolute PLQY using real experimental examples, discover the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them, and see how modern calibration and data analysis software have simplified what was once a complex experiment

ICAVS 2025 | Edinburgh Instruments to attend in Xiamen, China.

Edit Content

30 November – 5 December 2025, Xiamen, China.

We are pleased to announce that Edinburgh Instruments will be attending ICAVS 2025 which will be taking place from 30 November – 5 December in Xiamen, China.

The International Conference on Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICAVS) is a major global event for researchers in the field, covering a wide range of techniques such as mid- and near-infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and nonlinear methods. The upcoming 13th ICAVS will be a joint conference with the 5th International Conference on Enhanced Spectroscopy (ICES5), held together in Xiamen, China, from November 30 to December 5, 2025. This joint event brings together academic and industrial experts to present new findings, exchange ideas, and foster innovation across all areas of vibrational spectroscopy. Historically, ICAVS has featured multiple parallel sessions, a format that will continue, though the associated ICES symposium will maintain its tradition as a single-session event. This will be the first time China has hosted these significant spectroscopic events.

If you are planning to attend ICAVS 2025, then why not arrange a time to speak with our team who will be on hand throughout the event. Please contact us at sales@edinst.com to arrange a time.

Spectroscopy in Action: Accelerating Battery Design with Operando Raman Microscopy

Edit Content

23rd October, Webinar

Join Dr Iona Hill, for an in-depth exploration of how Raman spectroelectrochemistry is transforming electrochemical research and advancing next-generation battery design.

This webinar will introduce the key building blocks of Raman spectroelectrochemistry—including microscopes, electrochemical cells, and potentiostats—before demonstrating their power in real-world applications.

We will discuss why Raman spectroscopy is uniquely suited to electrochemical research, and showcase a series of case studies, including:

• Operando Raman microscopy of a water splitting electrocatalyst

• Mechanistic insights into cycling-induced electrode degradation in a photo-rechargeable Li-ion battery

• Optimising electrolyte chemistry for potassium-ion batteries

• Inhibiting ice formation in hydrogel electrolytes for flexible zinc–air battery design

The session will conclude with our expert recommendations on how best to configure a Raman microscope for electrochemical research, helping you streamline experimental workflows and unlock deeper insights into battery materials and mechanisms. Whether you are investigating electrocatalysts, developing next-generation energy storage devices, or optimising battery performance, this webinar will demonstrate how operando Raman microscopy accelerates discovery and innovation in electrochemical science.

Webinar: Advanced Photoluminescence Spectroscopy & Microscopy of Solar Cell Materials

Edit Content

We’re incredibly excited to announce a fantastic upcoming event featuring our very own Dr. Stuart Thomson!

Stuart, our Head of Product & Applications, will be leading a webinar hosted by Optica on a topic crucial to the future of renewable energy:

 

Advanced Photoluminescence Spectroscopy & Microscopy of Solar Cell Materials

The race to develop efficient, stable, and cost-effective solar cells depends on understanding materials at the microscopic and molecular levels. In this webinar, I will explore how photoluminescence spectroscopy and microscopy can be applied to analyse and screen potential solar cell materials. We’ll look at techniques including time-resolved photoluminescence, quantum yield measurements, and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) – each offering unique insights into material quality, defect states, and charge carrier behaviour.

If you’re working in solar energy, materials research, or simply want to know how advanced characterisation techniques like time-resolved PL, quantum yield measurements, and FLIM are unlocking the next generation of photovoltaics, this is a must-attend event.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to hear directly from Stuart, who is a leading specialist in photoluminescence spectroscopy of semiconductors.
