1. Unlike IR (or later NMR), where there may be upwards of 5 or
more resolvable peaks from which to elucidate structural
information, UV tends to give wide, overlapping bands

their raw form, rather, the peak maxima are simply reported as

to a lower state of the same
multiplicity

Conclusions
Dye molecules must be close to but
below saturation levels for optimum
emission
Fluorescence emission is longer than
the exciting wavelength
The energy of the light increases with
reduction of wavelength

Photobleaching
Defined as the irreversible destruction of
an excited fluorophore
Photobleaching is not a big problem for
flow cytometry as long as the time
window for excitation is very short (a few
hundred microsconds)

Excitation Saturation
57
Phosphorescence
Following absorption, molecules can relax via a
non-radiative transition to the T1 rather than the S1
state - this is called an intersystem crossing
While it is forbidden it does happen and has a low
probability and takes a longer time - the energy
dissipated is called phosphorescence
Phosphorescence has a longer lifetime than
fluorescence (milliseconds rather than
femtoseconds
Phosphorescence generally occurs at longer
wavelengths than fluorescence because the
energy difference between S0 and T1 is lower

Resonance Energy
Transfer
Resonance energy transfer can occur when the
donor and acceptor molecules are less than
100 of one another (preferable 20-50 )
Energy transfer is non-radiative which means
the donor is not emitting a photon which is
absorbed by the acceptor
Fluorescence RET (FRET) can be used to
spectrally shift the fluorescence emission of a
molecular combination.
