โฆ Synopsis
The article focuses on techniques and applications of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in biology and medicine. Both novel methods and well-established ones are discussed and future trends are outlined. Applications including fluorescence detection of nucleic acids, proteins, coenzymes and plant pigments and fluorescence labelling of nuclei, membranes and antibodies are outlined. In addition the fluorescence properties of photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy are discussed.

The high photosensibility of bilirubin represents the main reason why neonatal jaundice is treated with light. The relaxation processes of excited bilirubin appear to be governed by complex mechanisms which are not fully known. At room temperature, radiationless channels, such as Z----E configuratio
In invertebrate visual cells, the rhodopsin content is maintained at a high level by the fast process of photoregeneration during daylight. Rhodopsin is converted by photoabsorption to metarhodopsin, which is reconverted to rhodopsin by light. In addition, rhodopsin is regenerated by a slow process
