Fluorescence analysis is widely used in various scientific fields. It has many practical applications in biology, medicine and chemistry. Geoscientists can benefit from using it as well. For example, hydrocarbon saturation and carbonate content can be measured by illuminating rock samples with ultraviolet light and evaluating the intensity of emitted visible light. The most interesting case is where the wavelength of the released light is greater than that of the incident light. In geology and geophysics, fluoresc...
