✦ Synopsis


The presented setup for singlet oxygen luminescence detection in cell suspensions outperforms the current setups by more than one order-of-magnitude gain in sensitivity. This not only allows precise determination of the singlet oxygen lifetime in cells but also reveals a previously unnoticeable behaviour of the singlet oxygen luminescence during low dose illumination.
