Fluorescence theory

In selecting fluorescent compounds, their efficiency in conversion of excitation photons to emission photons is important. The quantum yield of a fluorophore is a measure of the efficiency of conversion from excitation photon to emission photon. The ratio of the number of photons emitted (emission photons) to the number of 

Sometimes fluorescence emissions are not observed, even though the correct excitation is used. There are two causes of loss of fluorescence emission. One cause is quenching of emission photons. Quenching occurs when the energy of the excited
