Regular light bulbs, also known as incandescent light bulbs, are an old invention. They still work to this day, but they have a serious disadvantage: they are extremely inefficient. The efficiency of an incandescent light bulb is estimated to be a tiny 10%, which means the bulbs turn 90% of the energy they consume into heat, not light. This is a huge waste. Luckily, they have a good replacement: compact fluorescent light bulbs. » Read more: Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs – Get More For Less

Gone are the buzzing, flickering tubes of yesteryear. Today’s fluorescent lights are quiet and steady. In the past fluorescent bulbs could take minutes to warm up and begin emitting light – now they turn on with the flick of a switch. » Read more: Fluorescent Desk Lamp – Should You Replace it With a More Efficient Model?

What is Fluorescent Lighting?
Understanding how fluorescent light tubes work begins with a basic understanding of how light is produced. The basic unit of light is the light photon, which is released by an atom when its electrons become energized. As you may know, electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around an atom’s positively charged nucleus. Electrons have different levels of energy, and move when energy is gained or lost by the atom. When heat passes energy to an atom, electrons quickly shift to another orbital, and almost instantaneously jump back to their original positions. As the return jump takes place, extra energy can be released in the form of a light photon, thus creating light. » Read more: What is Fluorescent Lighting?

Dual-focus Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy: Developement, Implementation and Application
This book explains and demonstrates an advancement of conventional Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), namely Dual-Focus FCS (2fFCS). 2fFCS is a solution based, single-molecule measurement scheme which allows the precise determination of diffusion coefficients of fluorescently labeled molecules (such as proteins, DNA, or other particles) at sub-nanomolar concentrations. In contrast to conventional FCS, where inherent artifacts can lead to substantial errors in the measurement result, 2fFCS allows easy-to-reproduce and artifact-free measurements. This book gives an introduction to 2fFCS, explaining how 2fFCS is able to circumvent FCS inherent artifacts. Beneath the theoretical foundation of 2fFCS also applications will be shown. The reader should be familiar with the basics of fluorescence and microscopy techniques such as confocal microscopy. » Read more: Dual-focus Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy: Developement, Implementation and Application
