Widefield Photoluminescence for Materials Characterization

Time-Resolved Photoluminescence at the Microscale

The FluoMic is a compact widefield photoluminescence microscope for fast steady-state and time-resolved characterization of advanced materials. It enables large-area assessments and localized measurements with micrometer-scale spatial resolution, supporting a wide range of excitation and detection wavelengths.

FluoMic integrated with an external spectrometer as part of the micro-photoluminescence upgrade, enabling wavelength-resolved measurements from micrometer-defined sample regions.

Spectrally Resolved Micro-Photoluminescence

FluoMic can be extended with spectrally resolved detection using either the FlexLambda wavelength selection unit or an external spectrometer via PicoQuant’s Micro-Photoluminescence Upgrade. Both approaches enable wavelength-resolved steady-state and time-resolved measurements from micrometer-defined regions, supporting advanced analysis in complex materials.

Core Measurement Capabilities

  • Widefield steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence
  • Spatial resolution down to 2 µm
  • Lifetime measurements from picoseconds to milliseconds
  • Excitation wavelengths from 375–1060 nm
  • Detection range from 400–1700 nm, including NIR
  • Pre-aligned fiber coupling for pulsed and CW laser sources

Revealing Photophysical Insights at the Microscale

This application note illustrates how FluoMic combines spectral, temporal, and spatial photoluminescence information to reveal relationships that remain hidden in conventional measurements. Using examples ranging from polymer standards to solar cells and individual LED pixels, it demonstrates how micrometer-defined observation spots enable deeper insight into excited-state dynamics and material heterogeneity. Explore how FluoMic expands photophysical analysis beyond bulk measurements.

Data Acquisition and Analysis Software

EasyTau 2 and SymPhoTime 64 support data acquisition and analysis for steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. Together, they provide a consistent software environment for spectral evaluation, lifetime analysis, and structured handling of spatially resolved datasets generated with FluoMic.
