Confocal Raman imaging and related techniques continue to increase in popularity. This whitepaper describes five key factors to consider when evaluating instrumentation: speed, sensitivity, resolution, modularity and upgradeability, and combinability.
In this whitepaper PhOLED are investigated using an FS5 Spectrofluorometer with electroluminescence accessory. Spectrum and chromaticity coordinates of the PhOLED emission are measured and triplet lifetime determined using time-resolved spectroscopy.
