Methods and Applications in Fluorescence

Methods and Applications in Fluorescence is the forum for original research articles, review articles and technical notes in the area of fluorescence spectroscopy, imaging, fluorescent probes, labels and materials. Its focus is on both methods and (advanced) applications. The following topics are representative of its coverage.Spectroscopy: Luminescence spectroscopy of biomolecules, of natural and synthetic fluorophores, fluorescence lifetime and polarization; resonance energy transfer (FRET); correlation spectroscopy; quenching; upconversion; plasmonic interactions; multiphoton excitation; single-molecule spectroscopy, laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, advanced components and instrumentation, nanometry, etc.Imaging: Fluorescence microscopy; multi-photon microscopy, quantitative fluorescence microscopy (such as FLIM, FCS, FRAP, TIRF); single-molecule microscopy; super resolution microscopy (such as STED, PALM, STORM, GSD, SIM), 3D imaging; single plane illumination microscopy, in vivo fluorescence imaging; advanced devices and systems for imaging, etc.Labels, probes and sensors: Protein and DNA labels; intercalators; labels for neurotransmitters and hormones; probes for ions; luminescent chelates and metal—organic probes; bioconjugation; lanthanide fluorescence, fluorescent proteins; membrane and lipid probes; (molecular) chemical sensors and biosensors, enzyme probes; (bio)assays (diagnostic, sequencing, signalling, screening), etc.Materials: Nanomaterials including all kinds of dots; luminescent nanoparticles; nanotubes; clusters; luminescent polymers, lanthanide luminescence, etc.The journal will not consider articles outlining routine uses of fluorescence, (for example, in detection), purely descriptive work, or synthesis without a demonstration of its use.
