Introduction to Fluorescence helps readers acquire a sound understanding of basic fluorescence theory and practice. It presents general principles in a straightforward manner and uses examples from a variety of disciplines to demonstrate them.

In full color throughout, the book takes readers from the history of important discoveries to the most current advances. It introduces the fundamentals of the fluorescence phenomenon and gives detailed examples of fluorescence applications in the molecular life sciences, including biochemistry, biophysics, clinical chemistry, diagnostics, pharmaceutical science, and cell and molecular biology.

The author presents the basic theories underlying the applications and provides in-depth information on practical aspects. The book also includes over 250 figures that clearly illustrate the concepts and includes the chemical structures of the most widely used fluorescent molecules. Additionally, the appendix provides a "Rogue’s Gallery" of the most common errors and pitfalls to avoid.
