Halcyone is an all-in-one-box fluorescence measurement system comprising Fluorescence Upconversion spectrometer and a Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting instrument. In the upconversion mode Halcyone has a time window of 3.3 ns and femtosecond time resolution. In the TCSPC regime the time window can be expanded up to 1 ms with 200 ps resolution. Switching between the upconversion and the TCSPC modes can be done very quickly without having to change the optical setup. A 2D camera is used to ensure highly precise delay stage alignment. The spectral range of Halcyone spans from VIS to NIR. Halcyone can work with either a mode locked Ti-sapphire oscillator or with a regeneratively amplified Ti-sapphire laser.
Features:
- Spectral Range: Upconversion mode: 350-1600 nm TCSPC mode: 160-650 nm or 400-900 nm
- Time Window: standard - 3.3 ns (Upconversion Mode); 12ns-1ms (TCSPC mode)
- Fluorescence Anisotropy measurements
- Optional reflection mode
- Optional 2D translating sample holder for solid samples
- Computer controlled spectral and kinetic scanning for 3D data surfaces
