Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The use of fluorescence microscopy requires knowledge of the elements making up the fluorescence microscope. In this chapter the basic elements combining to make a fluorescence microscope will be introduced and its role explained. Afterwards an introduction to the most common fluorescence microscopic techniques will be made followed by more advanced and developed approaches. These will include total-internal reflection and time-resolved microscopies, to name a few. The chapter will end with a brief introduction to flow cytometry, a highly related fluorescence technique in the biomedical field.
