Vm. Sidorenko, BACKWARD FLUORESCENT INTENSITIES FROM PHY TOPLANKTON IN WATER - THE EFFECT OF DISCRETE PARTICLES, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 34(1), 1998, pp. 59-62
A technique is proposed to consider the effect of discrete particles o
n backward fluorescent intensities (FI) from phytoplankton in water. A
comparison between the backward intensity and the intensity observed
at an angle of 90 degrees to the excitation axis is made. It is shown
that the relationship between these intensities depends on the optical
density of phytoplankton cells. The results obtained explain a number
of distinctions in experimental data obtained with fluorometers diffe
ring in the optical scheme of FI detection.
