The key element of any fluorescence sensing or imaging technology is the
fluorescence reporter, which transforms the information on molecular
interactions and dynamics into measurable signals of fluorescence
emission. This book, written by a team of frontline researchers,
demonstrates the broad field of applications of fluorescence reporters,
starting from nanoscopic properties of materials, such as self-assembled
thin films, polymers and ionic liquids, through biological
macromolecules and further to living cell, tissue and body imaging.
Basic information on obtaining and interpreting experimental data is
presented and recent progress in these practically important areas is
highlighted. The book is addressed to a broad interdisciplinary
audience.
