Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy experiments track the emission of fluorescence light from a sample. Time-resolved fluorescence intensities are also called fluorescence decays. Analysis thereof may resolve composite samples and report on dynamics (citations). Excited fluorescent molecules stay a particular time in their excited state before emitting light and delay the detection of fluorescence. This “delay” depends on molecular properties. Hence, time-resolved fluorescence informs on the studied molecules.
