Introduction to Fluorescence Spectroscopy

An accessible guide to all aspects of molecular fluorescence spectroscopy This book introduces the uninitiated reader to the growing body of analytical methods based on molecular fluorescence. Geared to practitioners with no particular training or exposure to the field, it highlights fluorescence spectroscopy′s tremendous appeal in present–day pharmaceutical, biomedical, and environmental analysis. Written by two highly respected experts in the field, Introduction to Fluorescence Spectroscopy covers all aspects of the technology–physical fundamentals, instrumentation, methods, and applications. The information is offered at 0a very practical level and addresses a broad range of chemical, physical, biological, and geological problems. The authors incorporate recent advances in commercially available instrumentation as well as fluorescent derivatizing agents, provide many examples of state–of–the–art applications, and discuss future trends. Concise, accessible, up–to–date, Introduction to Fluorescence Spectroscopy is an indispensable reference and an invaluable primer for those involved in the field of analytical science and other professionals interested in this fast–evolving analytical technique.
