PicoQuant, a research and development company specializing in optoelectronics and based in Berlin, Germany, is collaborating with Joseph R. Lakowicz from the Center of Fluorescence Spectroscopy (CFS) in Baltimore, Maryland, to offer a short course on the “Principles and Applications of Time-Resolved Fluorescence.”
The four-day event, taking place November 5–8, 2018 at the WISTA Campus in Berlin, features an in-depth introduction to fluorescence spectroscopy and its applications to scientific fields such as life and materials science. Researchers from academia and industry interested in using fluorescence spectroscopy methods are encouraged to attend the course, which encompasses a series of lectures with accompanying practical sessions focusing on various instrumentation and software.
Instructors include Joseph R. Lakowicz from CFS; Zygmunt “Karol” Grycznski from the Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas; Ranier Erdmann, PicoQuant’s managing director; and other senior PicoQuant scientists with extensive experience in time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The practical sessions will focus on steady-state and time-resolved measurements, as well as data analysis. Instruments will be provided by Agilent and PicoQuant.

Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
