In-Situ Calibration on Intracellular [Ca++]i, [Na+]i, and pHi
Karoly Csatorday1, Ram V. Sharma2, and Ramesh C. Bhalla2, 1Photon Technology International and 2University of Iowa, College of Medicine, HORIBA Scientific
The pH, calcium ion concentration, and sodium ion concentration were measured in cells using ratiometric dyes.  Both fluorescence spectra and fluorescence image ratios can be used to calibrate such intracellular properties.

Effect of Temperature on HAS Structure Inferred Using Time-Resolved Room Temperature Phosphorescence
Kulwinder Sagoo, Richard Hirsch, Pamela Johnston, David Mcloskey, and Graham Hungerford, HORIBA Scientific
Fluorescence and phosphorescence lifetimes of tryptophan in human serum albumin reveal conformational changes of the protein with temperature.  Pulsed UV excitation sources allow selective excitation and measurement of tryptophan residues.
