Description

TCSPC lifetime system for the measurements of short lifetimes down to 5 ps

The Ultima Series of TCSPC fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy systems are optimized for the measurement of short lifetimes, even less than down to 5 ps. They feature the FluoroHub A+ electronics which offer the best electrical timing resolution available (<400fs/point) and ultra-low timing jitter of <3ps RMS.

Benefit from our 40 years of TCSPC experience by consulting with us to tailor the perfect lifetime system for your research.
