Parameters involved in
phosphorimetry
This sequence of excitation, delay, and sampling, is repeated for each lamp flash. The
signal is accumulated for a predetermined number of excitation pulses, then FluorEs-
sence™ collects the total signal. After collection, FluorEssence™ displays the intensity
of the luminescence as a function of time or wavelength. The
x
-axis is based on one of
the four scan options:
•
Excitation
•
Emission
•
Synchronous
•
Phosphorescence delay
Phosphorimeter parameters
Four FluorEssence™ parameters govern the sequence in a phosphorimeter experiment.
These parameters automatically appear on the phosphorimeter experiment-acquisition
dialog box.
Initial Delay
Sets the time, in ms, between the start of the lamp flash and the on-
set of data-acquisition (opening of the
Sample Window
).
Initial
Delay
can range from 0–10 000 ms, in increments of 0.001 ms.
Accuracy of
Initial Delay
is better than ± 0.001 ms.
Set
Initial Delay
long enough so that fluorescence emission and
lamp decay are complete, so that the resulting spectrum represents
phosphorescence only. The full-width at half-maximum lamp-pulse
width is 3 µs, but there is a long decay time for the light output.
Lamp intensity falls to less than 1% of peak output after 45 µs. Set-
ting the delay to > 50 µs effectively removes any interference from
the lamp.
