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.

Over the past three decades, luminescence spectroscopy has transcended its origins as a curiosity in the physical laboratory to become a widely used and respected staple of the analytical chemist's instrumentation arsenal. Fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and phosphorescence spectroscopies are now routinely applied to such real analytical problems as the quantitaion, qualitative identification, and structural characterization of organic and inorganic compounds and even of cellular structures. And the list of recent advances in analytical applications of luminescence spectroscopy keeps growing. The earlier volumes of Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy provided professional chemists with a detailed, exhaustive, and up-to-date look at the applications of fluorescence, phosphorescence, and chemiluminescence spectra to the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds. Presenting topics never available in any analytical text, such as excited state optical activity and bioinorganic luminescence spectroscopy, the volumes represented a significant advance in the chemical literature. Part 3 continues the book's always current and practical examination of the field’s newest innovative turns. In a clear, systematic format, Part 3 discusses such widespread or ascendant laboratory techniques as: photochemically generated fluorophoresfluorescent probesluminescence from bile salt aggregateshole-burning spectroscopylaser-excited microspectro-fluorometrynear-infrared luminescence spectroscopyOther topics such as the fluorescence and phosphorescence of pharmaceuticals and natural products have never been reviewed as exhaustively before. The chapters on fluorescence detection in chromatography and luminescence immunoassay are the most up-to-date treatments available on these subjects. Invaluable to analytical chemists, instructors, and students, Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy, Part 3 offers expert guidance on the practical specifics of this multi-faceted technique as well as its farreaching analytical possibilities.
