27 – 31 October 2008 - Principles & Application of Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy - Short Course

Venue:  Wista-campus Adlershof, Berlin, Germany,
Organiser: PicoQuant GmbH

The short course on 'Principles and Applications of Time-resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy' is intended for individuals wishing an in-depth introduction to the principles of fluorescence spectroscopy and its applications to the Life Sciences. It is held in cooperation with Dr. J.R. Lakowicz from the Center of Fluorescence Spectroscopy (CFS) in Baltimore.

The course covers the basics of steady state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and instrumentation (time- and frequency-domain measurements, anisotropy, solvent effects, quenching and Foerster energy transfer, data analysis) and emphasises in its advanced part time-resolved fluorescence, together with advanced applications of fluorescence in biophysics, sensing, imaging, clinical chemistry, multi-photon excitation and ultrasensitive detection.

Registration deadline is 31st July 2008. A special course fee is offered for registrations until 31st May 2008 (early bird fee). Course enrolment is limited and early registration is recommended.

28 October 2008 - 8th Annual LOT and JA Woollam Ellipsometry Seminar

Venue: Victory Room, Nottingham Belfy Hotel, Nottingham, UK 

Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) has become the standard for measuring thin film thickness and optical constants (n and k). Spectroscopic ellipsometry is used for characterisation of all types of materials: dielectrics, semiconductors, metals, organics, and more.

J A Woollam offer ellipsometers covering a spectral range to meet any need (from the vacuum UV to the far IR). Many upgrade options are available with their ellipsometers: automated sample translation, variable temperature (heating or cooling), focusing optics, liquid cells, etc.

Registration is free of charge and will include a buffet lunch and refreshments. Numbers will be limited to around 35 delegates. Accommodation can be booked at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel at preferential rates subject to availability. Please contact us or the Nottingham Belfry Hotel for more details.

To register please contact Angela Carslake on 01372 378822 or e-mail angela@lotoriel.co.uk
