Fluorescence anisotropy
open-in-new
<p>Fluorescence anisotropy or fluorescence polarization is the phenomenon where the light emitted by a <a href="/facts/Fluorophore/wDWBmYhn">fluorophore</a> has unequal intensities along different axes of <a href="/facts/Polarization_(waves)/fP33m0eD">polarization</a>. Early pioneers in the field include <a href="/facts/Aleksander_Jablonski/yAdIxjmK">Aleksander Jablonski</a>, <a href="/facts/Gregorio_Weber/nTjENJwH">Gregorio Weber</a>, and Andreas Albrecht. The principles of fluorescence polarization and some applications of the method are presented in Lakowicz's book. </p>
