Educational resources

Spectroscopy resources:

Resources for spectroscopy are provided here using the University of Groningen file sharing server (unishare.nl). Some information is available to download by directly by clicking on the link, wherease some items are available only to the research unit or on request (use contact form). 

Useful websites

Andor Technology has mainly videos and application notes available.
Horiba has an extensive library of material for spectroscopic applications.
Cobolt lasers
Edinburgh Instruments
Avantes instuction videos
Raman Shift Frequency Standards (Spectral calibration by the McCreery- group)

Software for spectroscopy

Spectragryph: The spectral handling software Spectragryph is developed by F. Menges and provides a powerful platform for analysis of spectral data using the native file formats of most of the major suppliers of UV/Vis absorption, emission, FTIR/NIR and Raman spectroscopy systems. 

For Stratingh Institute staff and students please download the site licenced version here. Training material is available on request.

Electrochemistry

An introduction to electrochemistry is provided in the primer (link below) which is based on the 2nd year BSc Chemistry course Electrochemistry and Energy at the University of Groningen
