Four essential elements of fluorescence detection systems can be identified from the preceding discussion: 1) an excitation light source (Figure 5), 2) a fluorophore, 3) wavelength filters to isolate emission photons from excitation photons (Figure 5), 4) a detector that registers emission photons and produces a ...

Which detector is commonly used in fluorescence?

Fluorescence (FL) detector

A UV/UV-VIS detector monitors the absorption of light with a specified wavelength.

What is fluorescent detection?

Fluorescence is a form of luminescence. Fluorescence detectors typically excite fluorophores with a specific wavelength (selected with either a filter or a monochromator), then monitor emission at a different (longer) wavelength selected with another filter or monochromator. ...
