Operation of the phosphorimeter

Start-up
Load an appropriate instrument configuration that includes the phosphorimeter.
FluorEssence™ features
Main Experiment menu
This is where you choose to scan with the
phosphorimeter, via a Phos scan:
Experiment Type window
After choosing the Phos experiment type in the Fluorescence Main Experiment Menu,
four experiment types are available for the phosphorimeter in the Experiment Type
window:
Excitation
Emission
Above is a Phosphorimeter area with a typical set of parameters for the emission of
EuCl . Use an excitation monochromator set to 393 nm; the emission monochromator
3
should start at 570 nm, end at 750 nm, with an increment of 1 nm.
These are similar to the standard excitation, and emission scans. Among
the changes are that the Integration Time field is removed, and instead
are data-entry fields for Sample window, Delay after flash, Time per
flash, and Flash count. These four fields are described above, in the
Theory of Operation section, and shown below (extracted from the Exper-
iment Setup window).
