A HOT-CARRIER ASSISTED InAs/AlGaAs QUANTUM-DOT INTERMEDIATE-BAND SOLAR CELL
Really interesting article from IPVF and Tokyo University where absolute intensity calibrated PL hyperspectral images acquired with IMA were used to "investigate the balance of photons in the QD-IBSC [intermediate-band assisted hot-carrier solar cell] system following the emission from different positions of the excited sample"

A HIGHLY EMISSIVE SURFACE LAYER IN MIXED-HALIDE MULTICATION PEROVSKITE
Really interesting work from Prof Stranks' research group from Cambridge University. In this paper, the changes in photoluminescence and photoconductance of solution-processed triple-cation mixed-halide perovskite films are studied under solar-equivalent illumination. See how the PL emission maps obtained with Photon etc's hyperspectral microscope is used to provide insight on spatial heterogeneities.

AN OPTICAL NANOREPORTER OF ENDOLYSOSOMAL LIPID ACCUMULATION REVEALS ENDURING EFFECTS OF DIET ON HEPATIC MACROPHAGES IN VIVO
Dr. Dan Heller’s research led to a very interesting discovery. Using SWCNT-based optical reporter and our IR VIVO™ imager, his group found that elevated lipid quantities in hepatic macrophages - the liver - caused by a high-fat diet persist long after reverting to a normal diet. In other words, Morgan Spurlock (the Super Size Me guy) might have affected his health irreversibly for his movie.

NONINVASIVE OVARIAN CANCER BIOMARKER DETECTION VIA AN OPTICAL NANOSENSOR IMPLANT
A research team led by Daniel Heller at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center used our new SWIR imager to capture the first in vivo optical nanosensor capable of noninvasive cancer biomarker detection in orthotopic models of disease.

ELECTROSTATIC DEPOSITION OF LARGE-SURFACE GRAPHENE
The department of electrical engineering from ÉTS used RIMA to map the G’ band over a wide area for their new publication. Their paper presents a method for electrostatic deposition of graphene over a large area using controlled electrostatic exfoliation from a Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) block.

HYPERSPECTRAL RAMAN IMAGING USING BRAGG TUNABLE FILTERS OF GRAPHENE AND OTHER LOW-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS
Here we present a hyperspectral Raman system based on Bragg tunable filtering that is capable of global imaging with significantly reduced acquisition time and improved sensitivity compared to scanning confocal Raman microscopes.
