This introduction to a major area of growth in analytical chemistry is designed for students seeking general background on the subject and for established chemists who want greater familiarity with the uses of fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques. The complicated aspects of spectroscopic theory is treated clearly and simply, providing a solid basis for understanding the analytical applications described later in the book. It outlines the instrumentation required in analysis, with block diagrams to clarify major concepts, and explains the quantitative aspects of photoluminescence. The remainder of the book surveys methods of both organic and inorganic analytes using natural flourescence or the formation of flourescent derivatives. It includes coverage of recent developments such as flouroimmunoassay and room temperature phosphorescence. Case studies give concrete examples of current work in the field.· Study Guide· Supporting Practical Work· Bibliography· Instrumentation· Quantitative Flourimetry· Photoluminescence Methods in Analysis· Further Applications of Photoluminescence· Self-Assessment Questions and Responses · Units of Measurement

The third edition of this established classic text reference builds upon the strengths of its very popular predecessors. Organized as a broadly useful textbook Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3rd edition maintains its emphasis on basics, while updating the examples to include recent results from the scientific literature. The third edition includes new chapters on single molecule detection, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, novel probes and radiative decay engineering. Includes a link to Springer Extras to download files reproducing all book artwork, for easy use in lecture slides. This is an essential volume for students, researchers, and industry professionals in biophysics, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, biology and medicine.

A core text on principles, laboratory/field methodologies, and data interpretation for fluorescence applications in aquatic science, for advanced students and researchers.

Significant progress has been made in recent years in quenched-phosphorescence oxygen sensing, particularly in the materials and applications of this detection technology that are open to commercialization, like uses in brain imaging and food packaging. Prompted by this, the editors have delivered a dedicated book that brings together these developments, provides a comprehensive overview of the different detection methodologies, and representative examples and applications. This book is intended to attract new researchers from various disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biology and medicine, stimulate further progress in the field and assist in developing new applications. Providing a concise summary at the cutting edge, this practical guide for current experts and new potential users will increase awareness of this versatile sensing technology.
