Abstract
The ever-increasing use of fluorescence methods in bio-medical research clearly bespeaks a steadily increasing demand for more sensitive methods allowing the identification of biologically active substances present in tissues in low — and often extremely low — concentration. Beside improvements in chemical methodology, the development of more adequate and commercially available equipment has played a major role in promoting the use of fluorescence methods.
