Molecular Fluorescence: Principles and Applications, 2nd Edition
Today, fluorescence spectroscopy is one of the important analytical techniques, particularly in the areas of biochemistry and molecular genetics. Its advantage is extremely high sensitivity and selectivity - even single molecules can be detected - and it achieves a high spatial resolution and time resolution in combination with microscopic techniques or laser techniques, respectively. Together with the latest imaging techniques, fluorescence spectroscopy allows a real-time observation of the dynamics of intact biological systems with an unprecedented resolution. A comprehensive introduction to and survey of fluorescence spectroscopy. It is written for graduates and postgraduates in chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics, as well as active researchers who are learning to apply fluorescence methods in the areas of chemistry, physical chemistry, polymers, materials, colloids, biochemistry, biology, medical and pharmaceutical research.
