متن کاملMetal-enhanced fluorescence: an emerging tool in biotechnology.
Over the past 15 years, fluorescence has become the dominant detection/sensing technology in medical diagnostics and biotechnology. Although fluorescence is a highly sensitive technique, where single molecules can readily be detected, there is still a drive for reduced detection limits. The detection of a fluorophore is usually limited by its quantum yield, autofluorescence of the samples and/o...
متن کاملCommonsense , Trust and Biotechnology : Moving Beyond
This paper advocates for clearer distinctions to be drawn between school science and scientists’ science, particularly with respect to the investigative processes that typify each. It draws on the findings of a recent survey of public attitudes to science in New Zealand, and on recent international research in science education. The paper explores the possibility that the images of science that...
