Photoluminescence Mapping with the IMA PL™ Fast All-In-One Hyperspectral Microscope from Photon etc.

Photon etc. offers IMA PL™, a fast and all-in-one hyperspectral microscope that is suitable for the analysis of solar cells and other advanced materials. The instrument offers excellent image and data quality.

Key Features

The main features of the IMA PL™ are:

  • High spatial and spectral resolution
  • Fast global mapping (non scanning)
  • Non-destructive analysis
  • Complete system with microscope, source, camera, filter, and software
  • Customization available

Applications

The applications of the IMA PL™ are:

  • Thin films - Magneto-optical effects are suitable for providing in-situ measurements of the magnetization characteristics of thin-films.

  • Photovoltaic - A new characterization technique based on hyperspectral imaging recording spectrally resolved images enables the cartography of photoluminescence and electroluminescence.

  • Nanoparticles in cancer cells - IMA PL™ creates high contrast images of biological samples like human breast cancer cells.
