Applications
Fluorescence spectrocopy is used in, among others, biochemical, medical, and chemical research fields for analyzing organic compounds. There has also been a report of its use in differentiating malignant, bashful skin tumors from benign.
Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (AFS) techniques are useful in other kinds of analysis/measurement of a compound present in air or water, or other media, such as CVAFS which is used for heavy metals detection, such as mercury.
Fluorescence can also be used to redirect photons, see fluorescent solar collector.
Additionally, Fluorescence spectrocopy can be adapted to the microscopic level using microfluorimetry
