M. Koshioka et al., TIME-DEPENDENT FLUORESCENCE DEPOLARIZATION ANALYSIS IN 3-DIMENSIONAL MICROSPECTROSCOPY, Applied spectroscopy, 49(2), 1995, pp. 224-228
Three-dimensional space- and time-resolved fluorescence depolarization
spectroscopy has been developed for elucidating picosecond rotational
relaxation processes occurring in micrometer-sized volumes. Anisotrop
y decays are obtained by a mw analytical method which is adapted to th
e large-solid-angle characteristic of the microscope optics. System pa
rameters introduced in this method were determined by measuring a refe
rence sample. The fluorescence dynamics of p-terphenyl in a thin liqui
d layer was analyzed as a demonstration experiment.
