Photon-Counting Fluorescence Spectrometer

The ISS PC1 spectrofluorimeter is a workstation for a wide variety of highly sensitive fluorescence studies. The PC1 has excitation/emission monochromators and optional polarizers suitable for fluorescence polarization/anisotropy and ratio measurements using both T- and L- configuration.

Measurements that can be performed with the PC1:

  • Corrected excitation and emission spectra and (new!) 3-D excitation-emission matrices.
  • Corrected excitation and emission polarization (anisotropy) spectra and measurements at a fixed wavelength.
  • Synchronous luminescence spectra.
  • Slow kinetics (intensity, ratio, anisotropy, etc.), in time spans ranging from tenths of seconds to days.
  • Kinetic capability in the millisecond range.
  • Automated temperature scans.

The Keck Facility provides a collection of cut-on filters.
