  There are different types of spectroscopy methods that you can use, and it can be difficult to choose for a given application. However, when you are dealing with biological material such as analyzing plants, human and animal tissue or perhaps DNA, fluorescence spectroscopy is a good choice for you. Learn more about fluorescence spectroscopy by watching our series of tutorial videos by Dr. Thomas Rasmussen. In this series of tutorial videos, Dr. Thomas Rasmussen will talk about the basic principles of Fluorescence spectroscopy, common fluorophores & Instrumentation, typical applications, fluorescence resonance energy transfer known as FRET and more. So

  At the beginning of this year, our application specialist Rasmus Sterobo has been busy building a fluorescence front end demo for our ultra compact Pebble spectrometer. We couldn’t be happier with how things have progressed. He started out using one of our office plants as a test object and he managed to measure fluorescence from the chlorophyll in the leaves. Recently he extended his tests by measuring fluid fluorophores through the collaboration of the Department of Chemistry of Copenhagen University. The measurement was carried out on a variety of fluid fluorophores such as fluorescein, rhodamine, ADOTA, Cresyl Violet and

We at Ibsen Photonics want to give students the opportunity to develop their passion for science and innovation. In our ever-changing world, our youth must be equipped with the knowledge and skills to solve the complex challenges of the future. That’s why we jumped at the chance to be a partner of the UppSense team in investigating their topic of interest in the field of health sensors. UppSense is a group of motivated students at Uppsala University, who are participating in the SensUs Student Competition 2020. The goal of the team is to develop a biosensor for valproate, a valuable

    Building one spectrometer might not seem overwhelming for anyone. But what do you do if this spectrometer is going to be produced in volume quantities? Building and maintaining a volume production with high and consistent performance requires much, much more. If you need help thinking through your options, we recommend reading our recently published white paper entitled “Anyone Can Build One Spectrometer”. In this white paper, we share key insights based on Ibsen Photonics’ extensive knowledge and focus on mass production of spectrometers. Hopefully, by the time you finish reading this brief guide, you will have a clear understanding of

  The Galahad (Glaucoma – Advanced, LAbel-free High resolution Automated OCT Diagnostics) project has received funding from Horizon 2020, the European Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, under grant agreement No. 732613. Galahad's primary objective is to improve screening and basic diagnostics for glaucoma, which is a major cause of blindness throughout the world.The project will develop a non-contact method of examining the surface and sub-surface of the retina in real time without the need for anaesthetic. As a part of this project, Ibsen has designed and built a new spectrometer for ultra-high resolution OCT with broad wavelength range
