Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy Book

Fluorescence spectroscopy is an important investigational tool in many areas of analytical science, due to its extremely high sensitivity and selectivity. Fluorescence spectroscopy is at the fore-front of many new technological areas, including all aspects of drug discovery and the pharmaceutical industry where it has almost completely replaced radiochemical labelling. With many uses across a broad range of chemical research, it has become an essential investigational technique in chemistry and biochemistry, where it allows detailed, real-time observation of the dynamics of intact biological systems with extremely high resolution. Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy gives the student and new user the essential information, in a clear and straightforward way, to understand and use the technique confidently in their research. By integrating the treatment of absorption and fluorescence, the student is shown how fluorescence phenomena arise and how these can be used to probe a range of analytical problems. A key element of the book is the inclusion of practical laboratory experiments that illustrate the fundamental points and applications of the technique.Read More
