A method for photoluminescence measurement of a sample that includes a front face and a rear face linked by a contour, the sample resting, via the rear face of same, on a receiving face of an active base. The sample also includes a first region partially delimited by the contour and that emits a photoluminescence signal of an intensity, referred to as the first intensity, that is lower at any point to the average intensity of the photoluminescence signal of the sample, referred to as the reference intensity, the active base emitting a photoluminescence signal of an intensity, referred to as the secondary intensity, that is at least equal to the reference intensity. The active base includes an edge that is set apart from the contour by an overlap distance and that delimits, with said contour, a peripheral section of the active base.
