In Part 6 of Edinburgh Instruments series on Disentangling Fluorescence & Phosphorescence, the techniques introduced in the previous parts are combined to fully characterise the photophysical properties of a delayed fluorescence emitter which emits over nanosecond, microsecond and millisecond timescales.

In Part 5 of Edinburgh Instruments series on Disentangling Fluorescence & Phosphorescence we introduce PMT time-gating. Time-gating the PMT enables the user to measure small phosphorescent signals to be detected on top of a large fluorescence background. It is highly beneficial when investigating samples that contain multiple species or states emitting on different timescales.

In Part 4 of Edinburgh Instruments series on Disentangling Fluorescence & Phosphorescence we introduce the basics of kinetic photoluminescence using single photon counting, and how to apply this technique to study persistent luminescence.

In Part 3 of Edinburgh Instruments series on Disentangling Fluorescence & Phosphorescence we discuss the lifetime technique of multichannel scaling single photon counting or MCS for short. MCS is a complimentary technique to TCSPC discussed in Part 2 and is ideal for measuring longer PL lifetimes such as phosphorescence processes rapidly.

Part 2 of Edinburgh Instruments series on Disentangling Fluorescence & Phosphorescence using a Photoluminescence Spectrometer: Introducing TCSPC which can be used to measure PL lifetimes. It’s advantage of high-resolution and disadvantage of long acquisition times for longer lifetimes are discussed.

In this webinar series Edinburgh Instruments explores the different acquisition techniques for measuring emission on different timescales, and how overlapping fluorescence and phosphorescence emission can be separated into distinct spectra.

A fascinating insight from Edinburgh Instruments explaining how photoluminescence spectroscopy as an excellent technique for the characterisation of perovskite semiconductors.

Edinburgh Instruments explores how both techniques can be applied to the characterisation of materials classes using a Confocal Raman & PL Microscope:
• Imaging of 2D nanomaterials
• Layer composition analysis
• Spectral & lifetime PL imaging of semiconductors.

This talk from Edinburgh Instruments covers the principles of Raman Spectroscopy and Microscopy and explores its advantages as an analytical technique. It also provides further information on a range of topical applications.

Edinburgh Instruments provides an introduction to Photoluminescence and Transient Absorption and discusses the use of its Photoluminescence and Transient Absorption Spectrometers in Photodynamic Therapy.

Edinburgh Instruments discusses Raman spectroscopy as an analytical tool to study polymers. The talk covers Raman spectroscopy for identifying microplastics, studying phase transitions in polymers, and using photoluminescence on coloured plastics.

In this highlight video on Raman Surface Mapping, we explain how to overcome the challenge of mapping uneven samples using Ramacle® Software.

Fast Mapping in Ramacle® enables the user to acquire Raman maps with significantly reduced acquisition times via more efficient stage movement. In this software highlight, we detail how it works and when the user should use it to decrease mapping times.
