Image for fluorescence detection

fluorescence detection

Fluorescence detection is a method used to identify and measure substances by shining a specific type of light on them. When certain materials absorb this light, they become excited and then release it as a different color of light, called fluorescence. This emitted light can be detected and analyzed, revealing information about the material’s presence and concentration. Fluorescence detection is widely used in fields like biology for examining cells, in environmental monitoring for detecting pollutants, and in forensics for analyzing crime scenes, due to its sensitivity and ability to identify low levels of substances.
