With a fluorophotometer, a sample is irradiated with light from the UV to the visible range (200 to 900 nm), and the fluorescence emitted from the sample (200 to 900 nm) is observed.
With a fluorophotometer, after fixing the excitation wavelength and scanning for emission wavelengths, the operation of scanning for fluorescence wavelengths at the next excitation wavelength is repeated to construct 3-D fluorescence spectra.
The fluorescence from familiar samples can be confirmed. Below the autofluorescence from various components could be found in pineapple juice, river water, highlighter ink, and laundry detergent.
