[...] la technique de FRET [Förster resonance energy transfer] utilisée avec un microscope optique permet la détermination de l'approche de deux molécules distantes de quelques nanomètres seulement. Le transfert d’énergie entre molécules fluorescentes ou transfert d’énergie par résonance de type Förster est un phénomène quantique mettant en jeu deux molécules fluorescentes, à savoir une molécule fluorescente donneuse dans un état électronique excité et pouvant transférer son énergie d’excitation à un chromophore accepteur. Ce transfert énergétique par résonance est un processus mécanique quantique non radiatif qui ne requiert pas de collision entre les chromophores. Néanmoins, pour que ce transfert ait lieu, il faut que le spectre d’émission du donneur chevauche le spectre d’absorption de l'accepteur et que la distance les séparant soit inférieure à dix nanomètres. 4, record 1, French, - transfert%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9nergie%20entre%20mol%C3%A9cules%20fluorescentes

An intrinsic self-generated quenching center for lanthanide-doped high-purity solids is presented for transitions, which cannot be quenched by cross-relaxation. This center, in fact a cluster-like pair of active centers, is shown to come from a particular multiphonon-assisted energy transfer between them.

The Molecular Dynamics Sarastro 2000 has a simple light path that makes it ideal for conversion to a 2-photon scope. We retained the ability to use the microscope in the 1-photon, confocal mode by replacing mirror 2 with a beamsplitter that passes IR from the Mira 900 or reflects visible excitation from the on-board 25 mW argon-ion laser. Mirror 3 and the two scanning mirrors were replaced with broad-band mirrors for better IR throughput. We installed a plate that blocks the IR laser beam whenever the lid is opened to change filters, for safety. That is it--No more modifications necessary! To use in the 2-Photon mode, the on-board laser is turned off, the Mira 900 IR laser is turned on, the primary dichroic wheel is rotated to a 680 SP (Chroma) mirror, and the excitation filter and aperture wheels are rotated to the "open" settings. To improve rejection of excitation light, a barrier filter (680 SP, Chroma) is used in the detector housing. 3, record 5, English, - 2%2Dphoton%20imaging

Les dommages opérés généralement par les rayons UV sont donc évités. En outre, cette technique minimise le phénomène d’évanescence(photobleaching) de la sonde et autorise une meilleure pénétration dans le tissu. Enfin, les dommages du laser sont très réduits dans le cas de l'imagerie multi-photons en raison d’une faible émission du signal laser au niveau des plans non focaux. 1, record 5, French, - imagerie%20multi%2Dphotons

Polymers, because of their structure, additives or structure defects, can contain what are referred to as chromophor groups, which by absorbing UV-light can increase the electronic energy level of the polymer. The polymer in this situation can readily react further, for example, with oxygen (photo-oxidation). The higher scale energy of the polymer can be transferred to the quencher by adding energy quencher. The quenchers absorb the scale energy via energy transfers in the form of "safe" long wave rays (fluorescent, phosphorescent and heat rays) which does not promote any further photo-oxidation. 3, record 8, English, - excited%2Dstate%20quencher
