Fluorescence Measurement of Glass and Plastic

Introduction

In observations and analyses with a fluorescence microscope or Raman spectroscopy instrument, the objects used to contain or fix samples in place are often made with common items such as glass and plastic. While glass and plastic are convenient from the perspective of workability and durability, these materials can affect measurement data if they have fluorescent properties themselves. This article introduces the results of examining the presence and absence of fluorescence in glass and plastic objects using the RF-6000 spectrofluorophotometer.
