Prism

Different wavelengths travel at different speeds, longer wavelength (red) refracted less, high efficiency, ~100% transmittance

FRET

Donor absorbs photon, and energy of excited state transferred to Acceptor which then releases a proton, resulting in an increase in A and decrease in D fluorescence

Cons of GFP

Large domain may disturb protein structure

Relationship between intensities and absorbance

Plot of absorbance vs conc

At high conc, greater difference between ideal and actual behaviour so line stops being straight

Why is the signal measured at 90° to excitation

Avoid detection of unemitted light, possible as fluorescence emitted in all directions

Using an electrode to measure concentration

Barrier between two electrodes only permeable to one ion type, ion causes a pd across barrier related to ion gradient, potential measured between two electrodes changes, calibrate to provide conc readout

Vibrational splitting

Photons absorbed excite electrons to higher states, which then trickle down to emit photon at lower energy and longer wavelength; all excited vibrational levels return to ground state prior to emission

Solvent effects

Polar solvent rearranges self to stabilise and lower energy of system, electron transitions occur too quickly for this to occur immediately but overall solvent interactions lower the energy of the states
