Transfluorescence is a antonym of epifluorescence.
As nouns the difference between epifluorescence and transfluorescence
is that epifluorescence is fluorescence produced by reflected rather than transmitted light while transfluorescence is fluorescence of a material when the source of stimulating radiation is behind the object, from the point of view of the observer.transfluorescence
English
Noun
(en noun)page 45,
- For example, in contrast to transfluorescence microscopes, the intensity of illumination and consequently the amount of excitation energy increases as a function of increasing magnification.
page 98,
- Likewise in fluorescence applications, an epifluorescence configuration is normally chosen over transfluorescence .
page 319,
- Epifluorescence involves illuminating the specimen from above while in transfluorescence the excitation light comes from below the sample [Weeks, 2004].
