High Performance Fluorescence Lifetime Spectrometer "Easy Tau" FluoTime 300 

FluoTime 300 - Description of some of the optional components:

Hamamatsu H10330-series NIR-PMT
These special photomultipliers are suitable for single photon counting in the NIR and replace the former used H9170-Series. The H10330-45 features an InGaAsP photocathode and is sensitive in the wavelength range from 950 to 1400 nm. The H10330-75 variant has an InGaAs photocathode and its sensitivity range is extended to 1700 nm. The module has a thermally insulated sealed-off housing evacuated to a high vacuum. No liquid nitrogen, vacuum pumps nor water cooling is necessary.

Hamamatsu R3809U-5x series MCP-PMT
These are the fastest photon counting detectors today. Various photocathode materials cover the wavelength range from 160 to 910 nm. Using this detector and Ti:Sapphire laser excitation, instrument response functions below 40 ps can be achieved with the FluoTime 300. The modules have a dedicated high voltage power supply. Optionally, they can be mounted into a thermoelectrically cooled housing. In this case, water cooling is necessary.

Oxford Instrument Optistat series cryostat
The sample chamber is large enough to accommodate an Oxford Instruments OptistatDN series cryostat. This optional component allows low temperature photoluminescence measurements to be made. Precise control of the sample temperature is possible with various cryostat types from 2.3 to 500 K. A stand-alone digital cryostat controller is included.
