Contains (all rewritten) chapters on general aspects of luminescence, instrumentation, effects of molecular structure and environment, inorganic analysis and phosphorescence. The second edition also introduces new topics such as process, applications, bioprocess monitoring and biotechnology methods, soild surface luminescence and pesticide analysis, providing expanded coverage on chemiluminescence and environmental analysis and updates information on equipment, supplies newer references and more.
