In this paper, the authors used a 1P28 photomultiplier (PM) tube plus a solution of rhodamine B in ethylene glycol (RhB solution) to measure photon flux from pulsed and steady state light sources over a wide range of wavelength and flux.
Abstract
This paper presents a technique for fast and accurate measurement of photon flux from pulsed and steady state light sources over a wide range of wavelength and flux. The technique uses a 1P28 photomultiplier (PM) tube plus a solution of rhodamine B in ethylene glycol (RhB solution). The flux to be measured is absorbed by the rhodamine solution and the resultant rhodamine fluorescence is measured by the PM tube. The solution absorbs completely all photons below 6000 A and fluoresces with constant fluorescence spectrum and fluorescence quantum efficiency for incident wavelengths from 6000 to at least 2500 A. These properties of the RhB solution result in a PM tube‐RhB solution detecting system with constant photon sensitivity from 6000 to 2500 A. A large range of flux can be measured by adjusting the distance between the fluorescent solution and the PM tube so as to maintain the tube current within limits of stable operation. An RhB detector with a given distance between the RhB solution and the PM tube pho...

Transverse location of the fluorescent probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene in model lipid bilayer membrane systems by resonance excitation energy transfer.

TL;DR: The experiments showed that energy-transfer spectroscopy can provide useful quantitative information as to the transverse location of diphenylhexatriene in homogeneous phospholipid bilayers and may also reflect lateral partitioning of donor or of both donor and acceptor into different phases in systems exhibiting phase separations.

Environment-sensitive fluorophores with benzothiadiazole and benzoselenadiazole structures as candidate components of a fluorescent polymeric thermometer.

TL;DR: DBThD-IA exhibits a 10-fold higher photostability in aqueous solution than the original fluorophore DBD-IA, which allowed us to create a new robust molecular nanogel thermometer for intracellular thermometry.
