A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The ...

Diagnosing cancer and selecting the appropriate therapy depend crucially on how well experts understand the processes in tumors at the microscopic level. Central to this is understanding how cells in ...

In present-day bioanalytics, the selection of a detection method may have a major impact on the sensitivity, accuracy and ...

Fluorescence is the process by which a photon is absorbed, and another of slightly lower energy, and therefore longer wavelength, is subsequently emitted. Under normal circumstances, the electrons of ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Last year, we celebrated 50 years since the first papers on fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) were published. It ...

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a highly versatile technique that can be used to examine and characterize a wide range of unusual materials. In addition to this the technique is also used frequently in ...

XRF relies on the emission of secondary X-rays from a material when irradiated with primary X-rays. Each element emits ...

The phenomenon of fluorescence is a form of luminescence, and it is exploited by techniques that have innovated ways to utilize its light emittance to gain insights into target materials or substances ...

Scientists can monitor biomolecular processes in live tissue by noninvasive optical methods, such as fluorescence imaging. However, the fluorescent dyes used for that purpose are often rather unstable ...
