From Well-Known to Underrated Applications of Fluorescence

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fluorescence of Supermolecules, Polymers, and Nanosystems

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Fluorescence ((SS FLUOR,volume 4))

Abstract

Molecular fluorescence is extensively used in physical, chemical, material, biological, and medicalsciences as a tool for detection/analysis, visualization, investigation of local properties, diagnosis,etc. In fact, fluorescent compounds can be used not only for mere visualization, but also as probes, indicators,sensors, and tracers for providing information on local concentrations of ionic or neutral species, andon the structure and dynamics of matter or living systems (see B Valeur, MolecularFluorescence: Principles and Applications, Wiley-VCH, 2002). New compounds with improved characteristicsin terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and photochemical stability appear almost daily.

The present review does not intend to be exhaustive: some applications of fluorescence relevant tofundamental and applied research will be illustrated with pertinent examples. In addition, technologicalor industrial applications will be exemplified.
