UV Fluorescence Detection and Spectroscopy in Chemistry and Life Sciences

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover III-Nitride Ultraviolet Emitters

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 227))

Abstract

Fluorescence techniques are nondestructive analytical methods used in a wide range of applications. Since many fluorophores of interest can be excited with UV light and nowadays compact solid-state UV emitters are available, UV fluorescence methods are emerging. The chapter will give a survey of both fundamentals and applications of fluorescence in chemistry and life sciences emphasizing actual and potential applications of solid-state UV emitters. Particular attention is drawn to the use of autofluorescence spectroscopy for the detection of microorganisms and as diagnostic method for skin diseases.
