Edinburgh Instruments has introduced a new upgrade for its photoluminescence spectrometers. The MicroPL upgrade enables the study of spectral or time-resolved photoluminescence of samples in the microscopic scale by converting an Edinburgh Instruments photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer into a combined spectrometer and microscope system. 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. It is easy to swap between MicroPL and FLS1000 photoluminescence spectrometer or FS5 spectrofluorometer standard sample holders.
