FLUO is a modular spectrofluorometer for excitation and detection of fluorescence.
FLUO includes a xenon light source, excitation monochromator, sample chamber and emission monochromator/monochromators, as well as additional interface optics and detectors. All FLUO elements and modules are fully automated, the system is fully controlled in SOLARLS.LAB software.
FLUO is designed as a modular device: A continuous xenon light source illuminates the entrance slit of a excitation monochromator which selects the output wavelength range. The output radiation is directed onto the sample by means of reflective optics, exciting fluorescence. Fluorescence radiation is sent to the second (or third monochromator), which selects a range of wavelengths and sends them to the detector. The signal from the detector is transmitted to the system controller and host computer, where the data can be processed by special software.
