Gaertner Scientific variable angle stokes Ellipsometer L116S is instrument for the measurement of thickness of ultrathin layers. In our laboratory, this one is used to characterize the growth of monolayers deposited from solution.

Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting Fluorescence System is used for determination of fluorescence lifetimes and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy. The system is useful for following molecular rotations, especially the motion of rotor molecules included in TPP. Key parts of the system are:
- Coherent Mira 900 Ti:Sapphire laser system
- Coherent Harmonic Generator 9300s
- APE Pulse Select - tool of choice for pulse picking from trains of pulses from ultrafast laser systems
- CVI Melles Griot research grade optical tabletop
- cryocooled sample chamber
