Upgrade For Edinburgh Instruments Photoluminescence Spectrometers The MicroPL Upgrade for Edinburgh Instruments Photoluminescence Spectrometers such as the FLS1000 or FS5 allows the study of spectral or time-resolved photoluminescence of samples in the microscopic scale. An Edinburgh Instruments photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer can be converted into a combined spectrometer and microscope system with this user-friendly upgrade. A wide range of microscope configurations, source coupling and detector options are available enabling both steady state and fluorescence lifetime microscopy, as well as automated maps, using the same setup. Just like Edinburgh Instruments spectrometers, the PL microscope is fully configurable to meet your specific needs and can be upgraded with additional capability in the future. It is also possible to couple your own microscope to the FLS1000 or FS5 for a custom MicroPL upgrade (please get in touch for models supported). Key Features Spectral and Time Resolved Suitable for any type of photoluminescence experiment Customisable Tailored to your application and upgradable in the future FLIM Add-On Accessible and user-friendly fluorescence lifetime mapping Plug & Play Easy to swap between MicroPL and FLS1000 or FS5 standard sample holders All-In-One Software Including data acquisition, analysis and presentation

EXCITATION SOURCE FLEXIBILITY TO SUIT YOUR APPLICATION Camera MicroPL is coupled to the spectrometer via liquid light guides or fibres. It is possible to excite the full field of view of the microscope’s objective (widefield excitation), or a specific point in the sample with a laser (point excitation). From Spectrometer Excitation Path WIDEFIELD EXCITATION In widefield excitation, the spectrometer’s lamp and monochromator are used to select the wavelength of the light exciting the sample. Wavelength and bandwidth of the excitation light can be set in the software. This provides much more...

FLIM ADD-ON FLIM MICROSCOPY MADE SIMPLE MicroPL can be configured with a computer-controlled XYZ stage for Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM). This upgrade is designed with user-friendliness in mind: you do not need to be a microscopy expert to acquire good quality FLIM data. To acquire a FLIM map, the user defines the area or volume to scan across, as well as the spacing between data points and the lifetime acquisition parameters. The software then moves the stage acquiring a fluorescence decay in each data point. The FLIM add-on unlocks special features in the Fluoracle...
