Learn about Brillouin spectroscopy
The Bioengineering and Nanosciences and Charles Coulomb laboratories at theUniversity of Montpellier, in conjunction with the Continuing Education Department, have designed an exclusive short introductory course in Brillouin spectroscopy on June 27 and 28.
What is brillouin spectroscopy?
An all-optical, non-contact technique, Brillouin spectroscopy provides information about the mechanical properties of matter. It has been gaining ground in the field of biology since the appearance of a new optical component: the VIPA. Combined with a confocal microscope, a VIPA-based spectrograph enables rapid acquisition of a spectrum, opening the door to Brillouin imaging of various biological samples.
Exclusive short courses
The aim of this short course is simple: to present the theoretical, technical and practical aspects of Brillouin spectroscopy.
At the end of the course, participants will leave with a clear idea of the possibilities available and the techniques to be used to design an instrument adapted to their needs.
This two-day short course in Brillouin spectroscopy costs €350 per person.
This short course is unique and exclusive, and will take place only once, on June 27 and 28, 2024.

A complete program and professional speakers
The two days of Brillouin spectroscopy training will be punctuated by several workshops combining theory and practice. All workshops will be led by three professionals: Benoit Rufflé, Remy Vialla and Alban Desoutter.
The first day, focused on theory, will give you all the background you need on the history of spectroscopy and microscopy for biology, the theory of Brillouin scattering and the evolution of spectroscopes.
Then, on the second day, we get down to the nitty-gritty, setting up a VIPA Brillouin 2 microscope crossed with a diffractive mask.
