Abstract
Po2 optodes (Lübbers and Opitz, 1975) are based on fluorescence quenching of suitable indicator molecules, e.g. pyrenebutyric acid (PBA) (Vaughan and Weber, 1970; Knopp and Longmuir, 1972), by molecular oxygen within a membrane or boundary layer protected indicator film of about 10/um thickness. Fig. 1 shows a couple of O2-depen-dent corrected excitation spectra of PBA (λ em = 395 nm) in a silisensitivity is drastically enhanced at lower PO2 values for the indicator membrane, whereas for PO2 values > 100 Torr the sensitivity of the indicator solution would be more favourable.
