title: Time-resolved fluorescence in photobiology.
abstract: The article focuses on techniques and applications of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in biology and medicine. Both novel methods and well-established ones are discussed and future trends are outlined. Applications including fluorescence detection of nucleic acids, proteins, coenzymes and plant pigments and fluorescence labelling of nuclei, membranes and antibodies are outlined. In addition the fluorescence properties of photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy are discussed.
