Life Science
Life Science refers to the fields of science that involve the scientific study of processes and structures of living organisms. While biology remains the centerpiece of the life sciences, related fields such as biochemistry, biophysics, or medicine are also included. Life science applications aim at understanding organisms and their place in the ecosystem.

Materials Science
Investigating the relationship between the atomic or molecular structure of materials and their macroscopic properties is a core aspect in the interdisciplinary field of materials science. The insights thus gained help in creating or modifying materials for improved performance. PicoQuant provides powerful tools like steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy or microscopy to study a material’s excited state dynamics and processes. Coupling our fluorescence microscopes and spectrometers enables the acquisition of steady-state and time-resolved spectra from defined points or regions of interest in the sample. The resulting multidimensional datasets provide valuable new insights. Several combinations of different instruments are possible. Depending on the research question, one may be more suitable than others.

Metrology
Metrology is the science of measurements. It refers to the process of measuring one or several specific parameters for a defined purpose. Metrology applications in this context are not directly related to specific research in life sciences or materials science, but are either generally applicable or serve a very specific measurement task.

Quantum Optics
Quantum optics is a field of research that deals with the application of quantum mechanics to phenomena involving light and its interactions with matter. One of the main goals is to understand the quantum nature of information and to learn how to formulate, manipulate, and process it using physical systems that operate on quantum mechanical principles.
