Collection
Geometry and detector dependent
Why It Matters
See Where The Light Comes From.
Optical emission can reveal defects, electronic structure, strain, and optoelectronic behavior that are not visible from morphology alone. CL and PL routes are scoped around emission strength, collection geometry, wavelength range, and the detector or spectrometer path.
What This Enables
Application Capabilities.
Photoluminescence excitation and collection where configured
Spectrometer or detector integration review
Alignment and imaging support before acquisition
Raman plus PL routes where configured
CL and PL in S/TEM are not a standard route; ask us about your instrument.
Platform Fit
Microscope Options
Final fit depends on microscope geometry, optical access, sample environment, safety requirements, and the measurement goal.
