Synchronized Excitation of Fluorescence Emission Spectra

Nature Physical Science volume 231, pages 64–65 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

THE fluorescence emission of complex mixtures of fluorescent compounds sometimes cannot be satisfactorily resolved by the usual technique of excitation at various fixed wavelengths selected specifically for individual components. Considerable improvement in such spectra often can be made when excitation and emission wavelengths are varied together, so that the fluorescence contributed by each component is restricted to that excited at wavelengths synchronously trailing the plotted emission.
