System Enhancements
Phosphorescence and Steady State (T1a)
Adds phosphorescence lifetime and steady state capability to systems, includes pulsed xenon source with QuadraScopic, computer controlled, monochromator for excitation, coupled to the second entrance port of sample compartment; added to the sample compartment second excitation channel optics; for detection a gated detector with 1527 PMT is coupled to the second exit port of the emission monochromator, one can select detectors by means of a flipping mirror.
The T-1A requires an open sample compartment port since it is directly coupled to the sample compartment and an open port on the current system's emission monochromator.

Steady State (T2)
For steady state measurement capability to lifetime systems, includes high intensity continuous xenon source with QuadraScopic, computer controlled, monochromator for excitation, coupled to the second entrance port of sample compartment; added to the sample compartment second excitation channel optics; for detection there is a high sensitivity photon counting/analog detector with 1527 PMT added to second exit port of emission monochromator, one can then choose between detectors by means of a flipping mirror.
The T-2 requires an open sample compartment port since it is directly coupled to the sample compartment and a open port on the current system's emission monochromator.
