Polarization Toolbox Electro-Optical L-Format (EOLF) Polarization of Fluorescence Module Add Anisotropy and Circularly Polarized Luminescence Easily
IHV G = Gain Correction: IHH IV V – GIVH P = IV V + GIVH Polarization: IV V – GIVH r = Anisotropy: IV V + 2GIVH Traditional Calculation of Anisotropy and Polarization
IV V – IVH Polarization: P = IV V + IVH IV V – IVH r = Anisotropy: IV V + 2IVH Calculation of Anisotropy and Polarization using an EOLF Module
EOLF Advantages • No Gain Correction Factor (G-Factor) • No polarizer movement • Rapid switching between polarization states • supports high speed kinetic experiments
