Practical Fluorescence, Second Edition

by George G. Guilbault (Editor)

Overview

This is a new edition (first, 1973) of an introduction to the principles and applications of all phases of luminescence spectroscopy. Contains (all rewritten) chapters on general aspects of luminescence, instrumentation, effects of molecular structure and environment, inorganic analysis and phosphorescence. The second edition also introduces new topics such as process, applications, bioprocess monitoring and biotechnology methods, soild surface luminescence and pesticide analysis, providing expanded coverage on chemiluminescence and environmental analysis and updates information on equipment, supplies newer references and more.

Editorial Reviews

New edition (first, 1973) of an introduction to the principles and applications of all phases of luminescence spectroscopy. Contains (all rewritten) chapters on general aspects of luminescence, instrumentation, effects of molecular structure and environment, inorganic analysis, phosphorescence, fluorescence of proteins, and analysis on solid surfaces. Coverage of chemiluminescence has been expanded to include photobiosensors, and a new chapter addresses applications of fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques to environmental analysis. The emphasis throughout is on practical applications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
