Preface

This is the sixth volume in the Reviews in Fluorescence series. To date, five previous volumes have been both published and well-received by the scientific community. Several book reviews, in the last few years, have also favorably remarked on the series. We thank the authors for their very timely and exciting contributions again this year. We hope you will find this volume as useful as past volumes, which promises to be just as diverse with regard to fluorescence-based content. Finally, in closing, I would like to thank Caroleann Aitken, Manager, The Institute of Fluorescence, for help in coordinating content with authors and Michael Weston at Springer for help in publishing this current volume.
