Image for fluorescence spectroscopy

fluorescence spectroscopy

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a technique used to study the properties of fluorescent materials. It works by shining light, usually UV or blue light, on a sample, which then absorbs the energy and re-emits it as visible light. This emitted light can be measured to understand the sample’s composition, concentration, and behavior. It is widely used in biology, chemistry, and environmental science to analyze substances, including proteins, dyes, and pollutants. By examining the characteristics of the emitted light, scientists can gain valuable insights into the structure and dynamics of the molecules being studied.
