Course objectives

The course will provide information on physical principles of molecular luminescence and its applications in inorganic, organic and especially biochemical analysis. At the end of the course students also should understand to modern application of luminescence spectroscopy and related techniques such as GFP, FRET, FLIM, polarisation of fluorescence, Fluorescence in situ hybridization, etc.
