Spectrofluorometry

Spectrofluorometry is a scientific technique used to measure how substances emit light after they've absorbed it. When a sample absorbs specific wavelengths of light, certain molecules become excited and then release light at different, usually longer, wavelengths. By analyzing this emitted light, scientists can gather detailed information about the sample's composition, concentration, or structure. It's a sensitive and precise method often used in fields like chemistry, biology, and environmental science to study organic compounds, proteins, or pollutants, providing valuable insights with high accuracy.
