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

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?

Electrodeless lamp industry-standard start
March 18 to 20 by the China Illuminating Engineering Society Lighting Energy Professional Committee of China Institute of Electric Light Source Lighting Professional Committee sponsored the “National Electrodeless Fluorescent Lamps Technology and Development Seminar” in the Beijing mayor House Hotel. More than 100 lamp from the National R & D enterprise, Fudan University, Southeast University and other academic scholars, Beijing street management, national standards for performance and other personnel attended the meeting.
Meeting the industry’s R & D on the discharge lamp current technology and market development, made a comprehensive study purpose is to mobilize vast numbers of experts, engineers and technicians systematically summed up the fluorescent lamp over the years of technical achievements, and discuss market trends, and start to develop Electrodeless fluorescent lamp energy efficiency standards and norms, and Illuminating Engineering Society of China on behalf of the drafting of a special report, circulated to the relevant state ministries and commissions, it is proposed discharge lamp into national and efficient, green lighting products, to encourage enterprises to increase investment to expand the power of reproduction, making lamp more rapid industrial development, in order to play its due role in low-carbon economy.
Chang’an Avenue, Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed rail applications lamp
It is reported that non-polar light industry is developing rapidly in China in just over a year has grown more than 100 enterprises, these enterprises are mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong, the product technology is relatively mature, but with the people’s understanding of the product and the application market continues to expand, coupled with positive developments in the countries on low-carbon economy, industrial development is still very small, the overall production capacity is far failed to meet the actual demand. Since the product has an instant start, high-energy-saving, no flicker, long-life and other advantages received by the market favor, the current Chang’an Avenue, Beijing, all of Chinese Lantern Road and part of the urban extension have been transforming the use of non-polar lights, in addition to the latest opening of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high – Iron Guangdong sections of the tunnel more than 100 kilometers near 10000 tunnel lighting of the lamp is also used in all products.

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy or FLIM is a powerful tool for producing an image based on the differences in the exponential decay rate of the fluorescence from a fluorescent sample. It can be used as an imaging technique in confocal microscopy, Two-photon excitation microscopy, and multiphoton tomography. The lifetime of the fluorophore signal, rather than its intensity, is used to create the image in FLIM. This has the advantage of minimizing the effect of photon scattering in thick layers of sample. » Read more: Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy
