Get Hands-On with These Instruments
FluoTime 300 Spectrometer
The FluoTime 300 is a modular, fully automated photoluminescence spectrometer for steady-state and time-resolved (TCSPC, MCS) measurements. It offers picosecond precision, superior sensitivity (>32,000:1 water Raman SNR), and intuitive control with EasyTau 2.
FluoMic Widefield Microscope
The FluoMic is a widefield, TRPL microscope based on time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC). It offers lifetime detection from a few picoseconds to several milliseconds, selectable excitation wavelengths from 375–1064 nm, and detection from 400–1700 nm. Data acquisition and analysis are streamlined with EasyTau 2 and SymPhoTime 64 software.
