Bard Hall B56

The Edinburgh FLS1000 Spectrometer can be used for near-IR to near-UV fluorescence spectroscopy. Using a white light source, spectrographic measurements can be made by sweeping the excitation monochromator, exit monochromator, or both in a 2D spectrum map. Using pulsed sources (laser diode or LED) electronically synchronized with the detector, fixed wavelength lifetime measurements can be made from milliseconds down to one nanosecond. Typical samples are liquids in a cuvette, although measurements on powders or surfaces are possible.
