What is Fluorescence?
Molecules have many types of energy levels and all of them can be excited by absorbing photons. Two common energy levels are electronic, where the electrons get excited into higher energy levels, and vibrational, where molecules get excited into different types of...What is Fluorescence Spectroscopy (Fluorimetry)?
Fluorescence spectroscopy uses the process of fluorescence to learn about samples. Because of the nature of fluorescence, a single excitation wavelength can produce a fluorescence spectrum that can be used to identify samples. The Spectral ID application in the...What is Raman Scattering?
Raman scattering is an inelastic scattering process that can be used to probe vibrational energy levels. All molecules can vibrate in various ways, but it takes energy to do so. Vibrations have energy levels, just like electrons do. To make molecules vibrate, a...What is Reflection?
What is Diffuse Reflectance? Diffuse reflectance is a measurement technique used to analyze light scattered and reflected from the surface of a sample. Unlike specular reflection, which reflects light in a single direction, diffuse reflectance occurs when light...Introducing our new Applied Spectroscopy Division
