Broad spectra are still a challenge when more than one element fluoresces Nevertheless, selectivity is much improved over absorbance.
More spectral information assists in the analysis of mixtures
Possible to choose a different path across the 3-d spectrum
Gasoline engine exhaust analysis with a synchronous scan
Phosphorescence Inhibit fluorescence and non-radiative decay 1) Freeze at low temperature 2) Immobilize on solid substrate 3) Dissolve in organized medium 4) Add a heavy atom Then isolate phosphorescence from fluorescence
