    Abstract : A continuing use of fossil fuels will accelerate global warning and result in severe consequences for the environment and thereby also us. Development of alternative, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources is therefore crucial. One approach is to create an artificial photosynthetic system that converts sunshine into fuel (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transient State Fluorescence Microscopy - method development and biological applications : Exploiting the dark states of fluorophores to measure oxygen concentrations, redox state, Förster resonance energy transfer and membrane viscosity

    Author : Thiemo Spielmann; Jerker Widengren; Karsten König; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transient States imaging TRAST ; Triplet State imaging; fluorescence microscopy; modulated excitation; triplet state; radical state; trans-cis isomerisation;

    Abstract : Due to their long lifetime, triplet, redox and other transient states of fluorophores are highly sensitive to the micro-environment. Imaging their spatial distribution in biological samples can therefore help answer interesting questions about the metabolism, molecular interactions and dynamics in living cells. READ MORE
