Edinburgh Instruments - TECHCOMP Group applications

In this application note, an RMS1000 Confocal Microscope is used to image a tissue section of mouse intestine using two-photon excited fluorescence and second harmonic generation microscopy.

Liquid scintillator detectors are widely utilised in neutrino and astroparticle detection experiments. One liquid scintillator that is increasingly being used in large scale detection experiments is linear alkylbenzene (LAB). LAB is an attractive scintill

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a phenomenon of non-radiative transfer of the optical excitation from an excited electronic level of one molecule, called the donor, to a resonant electronic level of another molecule, called the acceptor. In th

How can Raman microscopy help the battle to quit smoking? A transdermal patch is a method of drug delivery through the skin into the bloodstream. The patch contains a drug which absorbs into your skin when attached to you and it releases a consistent an

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an enhancement technique in which nanoparticles are used to provide Raman intensity enhancement. In this application note the optimisation of gold nanoparticles are investigated for the development of a SERS glu
