Measuring Fluorescence for Medical Research: The AMINCO-Bowman Spectrophotofluorometer (Exhibit)
- An online exhibit about Dr. Robert Bowman who developed a sensitive instrument called the spectrophotofluorometer, or "SPF", that allowed scientists to use fluorescence as a way to identify and measure tiny amounts of substances in the body. This exhibit explores the instrument and its use in scientific studies ranging from anti-depressant medication to AIDS research and the Human Genome Project.
