Summarizes the principles required for biomedical applications of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Many of the chapters describe the development of red/NIR probes and the mechanisms by which analytes interact with the probes and produce spectral changes. Other chapters describe the unique opportunities of red/NIR fluorescence and the types of instruments suitable for such measurements. Also included is a description of the principles of chemical sensing based on lifetimes, and an overview of the important topic of immunoassays. Annotation c.
