Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (AFS) techniques are useful in other kinds of analysis/measurement of a compound present in air or water, or other media, such as CVAFS which is used for heavy metals detection, such as mercury. Fluorescence can also be used to redirect photons, see fluorescent solar collector.
Fluorescence quantum yields are measured by comparison to a standard. [16] The quinine salt quinine sulfate in a sulfuric acid solution was regarded as the most common fluorescence standard, [ 17 ] however, a recent study revealed that the fluorescence quantum yield of this solution is strongly affected by the temperature, and should no longer ...
Sulfur dioxide (SO 2) is measured by fluorescence spectroscopy. This involves firing ultraviolet light at a sample of the air and measuring the fluorescence produced. [45] Absorption spectrophotometers are also used for measuring SO 2. Flame photometric analyzers are used for measuring other sulphur compounds in the air. [46]
The excited atoms re-radiate their absorbed energy (fluoresce) at this same wavelength. Unlike the directional excitation source, the fluorescence is omnidirectional and may thus be detected using a photomultiplier tube or UV photodiode. Gold coated traps may be used to collect mercury in ambient air or other media. The traps are then heated ...
Schematic diagram of the arrangement of optical components in a typical Spectrofluorometer. A spectrofluorometer is an instrument which takes advantage of fluorescent properties of some compounds in order to provide information regarding their concentration and chemical environment in a sample.
Fluorometer designed to measure chlorophyll fluorescence in plants. A fluorometer, fluorimeter or fluormeter is a device used to measure parameters of visible spectrum fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. [1]
The Telescope Array has three fluorescence detector (FD) telescope stations. As in the previous Fly's Eye and High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiments, these detectors work by measuring the air fluorescence light emitted by an extensive air shower. Each FD telescope consists of a primary mirror (made up of 18 smaller hexagonal mirror ...
The fluorescence process is inefficient, and the secondary radiation is much weaker than the primary beam. Furthermore, the secondary radiation from lighter elements is of relatively low energy (long wavelength) and has low penetrating power, and is severely attenuated if the beam passes through air for any distance.
