Today, it was time for the first practical on Brillouin light scattering microscopy at the European School on Magnetism.

Using our setup we instlled last year at the Ceitec institute, we could introduce the basics on Brillouin light scattering and allow all participants to get a hands-on experience.

During the practical, we measured thermally excited spin-waves in Permalloy thin films of different thickness and then changed to microstructured samples which allow for the external excitation of magnons. The combination of thaTEC:OS and our microscopy software, the participants could perform an automated 2D mapping of the spin-wave intensity in the microstructures which gave a good insight into the physics of spin-waves.
We thank all participants for their interest and enthusiasm during the practical and we are looking forward for the next practical on Brillouin light scattering microscopy on Sunday!

Today, we gave the first practical on lab automation using LabView at the European School on Magnetism.

After an introduction, all 14 participants were given different devices to control them using LabView and our programming template which allows an easy integration into thaTEC:OS to perform automated measurements.

We thank all participants for their interest and enthusiasm during the practical and we are looking forward for the next practical on Thursday!

The abstracts for the practicals which we will offer at the 2019 European School on Magnetism in Brno, Czech Republic are now available!
We will offer two different practicals:

• An introduction into lab automation using LabView in which we will program software for different devices and use them to perform automated measurements during the practicals. Abstract available here.
• A practical session regarding Brillouin light scattering. Here, we introduce our microscopy setup and every participant will have the chance to perform measurements on spin-waves in microstructured conduits. Abstract available here.

See you next week in Brno!

After the amazing BioBrillouin meetings in Perugia and Lyon, we are very happy to announce that we will also be a sponsor of the 3rd BioBrillouin meeting in Porto next month!

The application of Brillouin light scattering microscopy for biological and biomedical research is absolutely exciting and we are pleased to be a part of it and to help people saving lots of time due to our measurement automation software!

There is still more than one week time until the early registration deadline!
