Both fluorescence and phosphorescence are spontaneous emissions of electromagnetic radiation.
Integrated luminometer for the determination of trace. Phosphorescence is similar to fluorescence, but the phenomenon lasts for much longer, well past the time that the irradiating source is removed. Fluorescence takes place much more rapidly and generally complete in about 105 s or less time from the time of excitation. When we talk about luminous watches and paint, what we really mean is phosphorescence, which is very similar to fluorescence. The difference between fluorescence, phosphorescence and chemiluminescence. Fluorescence microscopy, fluorescent detection, hts print as pdf. It is the antithesis of a photochemical reaction, in which light is used to drive an endothermic chemical reaction. Geddes is a fellow of both the royal society of chemistry frsc.
Luminescence refers to any mechanism where photons are generated, without an input of heat fluorescence refers to a specific type of luminescence where the energy to produce the photon comes from the absorption of a photon with higher energy.
