Presentation Mini-Tau

Presentation

The mini-tau is a filter based fluorescence lifetime spectrometer.
It can measure fluorescence lifetimes between approximately 25 ps and 50 μs.
The F980 software allows to comprehensively possess data and can accurately analyse complex decay kinetics of up to 4 lifetimes

Application

• Time-Resolved Fluorescence / Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC)
• Fluorescence lifetimes
• Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy

Key words

Time-resolved fluorescence, Fluorescence lifetime
