7.11. Conclusion

We have discussed some of the special problems and opportunities that result from employing fiber optics in fluorescence sensors and experiments. It should be evident that fiber optics do not represent a panacea, but rather a means for solving particular problems-sometimes elegantly. One purpose of this chapter was to stimulate the community to apply this technology to new experiments in biochemistry and biophysics; from the experimental demonstration of such techniques come the practical applications of tomorrow, c]
