Contact: Dr. Raluca Gearba
Email: gearba@austin.utexas.edu
Location: EER 6.644
Equipment Type:
Spectroscopy
Information the Equipment Can Provide
The Horiba fluorimeter can be used for fluorescence as well as lifetime measurements.
System Characteristics:
- The excitation sources include a 450 W ozone-free Xenon arc lamp, flash lamp, and pulsed nanoLEDs.
- The maximum excitation wavelength is 660 nm
- The system is equipped with two detectors with ranges from 250 up to 1050 nm and 950 to 1400 nm.
- Spectral resolution of 0.1 nm
- Time resolution of 300 ps for life time measurements using pulsed LED light sources covering a broad spectral range (see below)
- The system includes a cuvette holder for solutions and a holder for solid state samples.
- Motorized polarizers for anisotropy measurements
- The software will calculate anisotropies of samples, along with anisotropy decay using software-controlled polarizers.
- NanoLEDs for 330 nm, 370 nm, 402 nm, 442 nm, 482 nm, 561 nm, 613nm, 635 nm and 980 nm.
