Abstract
Fluorescence techniques give better results in biological and medical applications than do absorption techniques because of their higher sensitivity (the absorption signal is related to the 100% incident light intensity, while in fluorescence small signals are detected against zero background = darkness) and easier separation of the dye-related signal from the background.
