Presented by our application specialist Sangeetha Hari, the webinar describes what cathodoluminescence is, how it is generated and how it can be applied in different fields.

This webinar is a great way to understand the difference between CL and other types of luminescence, what tools and equipement are needed to generate cathodoluminescence and perform CL imaging, and why exactly CL can be so valuable for understanding materials. 

Sangeetha also covers the most common ways to prepare samples for cathodoluminescence imaging. We will be dedicating a separate webinar about this topic soon, so make sure to stay updated if you would like to join it. 

Apart from that the webinar compares CL with other SEM techniques, such as SE and BSE detection, EBSD and WDS/EDS, discussing the possibilities and disadvantages of each. Finally, a the most used imaging modes (CL intensity mapping and hyperspectral CL imaging) are presented. The webinar is now available on-demand, and can be accessed here. If you are ready to go more in depth into CL imaging, we are inviting you to join the upcoming webinar Cathodoluminescence for Photovoltaics.
