DURING an investigation into the estimation of 3: 4-benzpyrene by fluorescence measurements, great differences in fluorescence intensity were observed according to the solvent used; for example, the ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University have engineered a fluorescent dye that keeps glowing even when submerged in superacidic ...

Since the 1960s, boron–dipyrromethene dyes, commonly called BODIPY dyes, have been widely used for their strong fluorescence, ...

In addition to endogenous autofluorescence, scientists must also contend with obfuscating signals introduced during the experimental workflow. This non-specific signal can come from multiple sources, ...

This method uses fluorescence to analyze the samples. In fluorescence, the fluorophore absorbs light of a certain wavelength, which then excites the electron, which moves from ground state to a high ...

Immunofluorescence is a common technique in modern biology and medicine. It is a highly sensitive method used primarily for the analysis of tissue samples with a fluorescence microscope. When this ...

Opening new possibilities for fluorescence-based imaging in extreme environments, from bioimaging to advanced materials ...

Quenching refers to the rapid cooling of a machined piece. The aim of quenching is to obtain certain required material characteristics by desired phase transformations. Quenching is dependent upon ...

Researchers have developed a simple method for making fluorescent dyes of many colors that can be activated by visible light. The method involves switching out a single oxygen atom in existing ...
