Microscope A good-quality dissecting microscope is essential, preferably with both transmitted (bright- and dark-fleld) and incident (e.g., fiber-optic) illumination— we use Wild microscopes with an overall magnification range of 6-50x.

Another early fiber optic refractive "sensor" was the one for measurement of temperature and salinity variations of sea water31. The sensing region consisted of a partly uncovered light guide. It detects salinity variations in water of known temperature, and temperature variations in water of known salinity with an accuracy of +/- 2 g/L and 1 °C, respectively, at NaCl concentrations of 300 g/L.

More fluorescence features than just the emission intensity can be used to develop luminescent optosensors with enhanced selectivity and longer operational lifetime. The wavelength dependence of the luminescence (emission spectmm) and of the luminophore absorption (excitation spectrum) is a source of specificity. For instance, the excitation-emission matrix has shown to be a powerful tool to analyze complex mixtures of fluorescent species and fiber-optic devices for in-situ measurements (e.g.
