Established in 1991This novel variable fluorescence technology relies on over 20 years of R&D in bio-optics and scientific instrumentation, including development of operational and commercial Fast Repetition Rate (FRR) fluorometers, pump-and-probe LIDARs, photoacoustic devices, picosecond lifetime fluorometers.
