  • How a unified Python controller can orchestrate a potentiostat and Raman microscope as a single automated system for measuring the state of lithiation in a battery.
  • How chronoamperometric triggering ensures spectra are acquired at true electrochemical equilibrium rather than at an arbitrary fixed time.
  • How real-time wavenumber referencing to a known standard corrects temperature-induced spectral drift across overnight runs.
  • How Z-stack autofocusing maintains focal integrity across a full electrochemical protocol.
  • How this architecture opens the door to ML integration, autonomous mapping, and advanced battery characterisation workflows.

FLIM is a powerful technique for mapping variations in fluorescence lifetime—independent of fluorophore concentration and highly sensitive to microenvironmental changes. In this session, you’ll discover how combining FLIM with complementary modalities such as:

  • Spectral photoluminescence (PL) imaging
  • Raman microscopy
  • Second harmonic generation (SHG)
  • Two‑photon excited fluorescence (2PEF)
  • Phosphorescence lifetime imaging

creates rich, multimodal datasets that capture structural, chemical, electronic, and dynamic information—all within a single instrument. The webinar also highlights optical and detection strategies enabling pulsed and continuous‑wave excitation, time‑resolved photon counting, and spectrally resolved detection.

Why Attend?

  • Learn how multimodal workflows enhance imaging contrast and sample compatibility.
  • Understand practical instrumentation design considerations.
  • See real biological examples showcasing the value of integrating spectroscopic techniques.

About the Speaker

Dr. Iona Hill earned her PhD from the University of Strathclyde, specializing in optical medical imaging and Raman spectroscopy for cancer treatment response. She later continued this work at UTHealth Houston before joining Edinburgh Instruments as an Applications Scientist in 2024, supporting global researchers in multimodal microscopy and spectroscopic imaging.

Spectroscopy in Action: Measuring Scintillation: Optimise Your Radioluminescent Materials.

  • Online Webinar
  • 18/02/2026

Join Dr Maria Tesa and Dr Tommy Loan for our first webinar of this year,  Measuring Scintillation: Optimise Your Radioluminescent Materials.

Scintillators play a critical role in airport baggage screening, medical imaging, and particle physics research by converting high-energy radiation into detectable light. Designing efficient, high-performance scintillators depends on a deep understanding of scintillation and radioluminescence (how materials emit UV or visible light when excited by X-rays).

In this webinar, Maria and Tommy will introduce the fundamentals of scintillators and explore how scintillation underpins their real-world applications. You will learn how to characterise radioluminescence in scintillating materials, from spectral analysis to advanced time-resolved measurements. We will walk through the required instrumentation and show how to interpret experimental results using practical, real-world examples.

What you will learn:

  • What scintillators are, and how scintillation enables radiation detection
  • The physical mechanisms behind scintillation and radioluminescence
  • Instrumentation used to measure radioluminescence in scintillators
  • How to perform and analyse spectral and time-resolved radioluminescence measurements

25th September, Webinar

In our upcoming webinar, we’ll walk through several case studies showing how multimodal microscopy is being used in both research and industry:

 

  • Simultaneous Raman and PL imaging in silicon wafers.
  • Doping, polytype, and defect mapping in SiC power electronics.
  • Correlated Raman/PL imaging of GaN LEDs.
  • Carrier dynamics in perovskites using FLIM.
  • Correlated Raman, PL, and photocurrent imaging in organic solar cells.
  • Full-wafer analysis for uniformity and process control.

 

We’ll also show how instruments like the RM5 and RMS1000 are configured for these workflows, equipped with multiple lasers and automated mapping systems to make these measurements accessible and repeatable.
