Multiple UV wavelength excitation and fluorescence of bioaerosols.
A two-wavelength laser-induced fluorescence technique is described for detecting and classifying biological aerosols. Single aerosols, smaller than 10 mm, are interrogated with 266 nm and 355 nm laser pulses separated in time by 400 ns. Fluorescence signals excited by these pulses are detected in three broad spectral bands centered at 350 nm, 450 nm and 550 nm. The results indicate that bacteri...
متن کاملTwo-photon fluorescence excitation in continuous-wave infrared optical tweezers.
We report the observation of two-photon f luorescence excitation in a continuous-wave (cw) single-beam gradient force optical trap and demonstrate its use as an in situ probe to study the physiological state of an optically confined sample. In particular, a cw Nd:YAG (1064-nm) laser is used simultaneously to conf ine, and excite visible f luorescence from submicrometer regions of, cell specimen...
متن کاملSingle-molecule detection using continuous wave excitation of two-photon fluorescence.
Two-photon fluorescence (TPF) is one of the most important discoveries for biological imaging. Although a cw laser is known to excite TPF, its application in TPF imaging has been very limited due to the perceived low efficiency of excitation. Here we directly excited fluorophores with an IR cw laser used for optical trapping and achieved single-molecule fluorescence sensitivity: discrete stepwi...
متن کاملMonitoring of effluent DOM biodegradation using fluorescence, UV and DOC measurements.
The potential of effluent DOM to undergo microbial degradation was assessed in batch experiments. Effluent samples from Haifa wastewater treatment plant and Qishon reservoir (Greater Haifa wastewater reclamation complex, Israel) were incubated either with effluent or soil microorganisms for a period of 2-4 months and were characterized by dissolved organic carbon contents (DOC), UV(254) absorba...
متن کاملTest and Control System for Chlorophyll Fluorescence Parameters Using LED as Excitation Source
A new scheme on test and control system for chlorophyll fluorescence is presented in this work, which uses light-emitting diode (LED) excitation by means of measuring the fluorescence parameter φpsII. The system takes programmable power supply as LEDs illumination drive power with high sensitivity and signal-tonoise ratio. MINIPAM is used to measure fluorescence parameter φpsII and keeps commun...
