In order to evaluate stored apple pollen viability, in vitro germination test was performed on a microscope slide coated with the culture medium containing fluorescein diacetate (FDA). However, the inclusion of FDA to the culture medium declined pollen germination. Alternatively, the fluorochromatic reaction procedure was tested. The procedure involved dusting pollen grains onto drops of 10% sucrose solution containing 0.002% FDA and allowing them to accumulate fluorescein. Within 30 min after the fluorochromatic reaction, viable pollen grains clearly fluoresced under ultraviolet light. Both the in vitro germination test and the fluorochromatic reaction procedure revealed that stored apple pollen viability was not considerably decreased over storage up to at least 39 months. Of the cultivars examined by both methods, 'Fuji' and 'Senshu' pollen viability was highest, 'Tsugaru' was intermediate, and 'Jonagold' was lowest. The fluorescing percentages appeared approximately comparable to the germination percentages except for the 'Senshu' pollens stored for 3 months, although the fluorescing percentages was slightly higher than the germination percentages. Strong and highly significant correlations were found between the two methods. It can thus be concluded that the fluorochromatic reaction procedure provides a convenient and reliable evaluation of stored apple pollen viability.

Study on the chemical speciation of uranium(VI) species, ${UO_2}^{2+}$, $UO_2(OH)^+$, ${(UO_2)}_2{(OH)_2}^{2+}$, ${(UO_2)}_3{(OH)_5}^+$, has been peformed by using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Speciation sensitivity which depends on the excitation wavelength was investigated. We obtained the speciation sensitivity in the order of $10^{-9}$ M concentration of U(VI) compounds at the excitation wavelength of 266 nm. The fluorescence spectrum and lifetime of ${UO_2}^{2+}$ were carefully measured at pH 1 and ion strength of 0.1 M. The spectrum showed the four characteristic peaks located around 488, 509, 533, 559nm and the fluorescence lifetime of $1.92{\pm}0.17{\mu}s$. The wavelength shifts of fluorescence peaks and the change of lifetimes for uranium hydrolysis compounds were compared with those of ${UO_2}^{2+}$. We report on the characteristic features, the shifts of peaks to the longer wavelength direction and the prolonged lifetimes, in the fluorescence of the U(VI) hydrolysis compounds.

형광체를 조명과 디스플레이 산업에 응용하기 위해서는 충분히 밝은 빛을 제공하는 형광체의 발광 세기가 중요한 변수이다. 이러한 발광 특성은 주로 모체 격자에 도핑 되는 활성제의 농도, 입자의 형상과 크기 분포의 균일성, 결정성에 따라 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 Ca2SiO4 모체 결정에 도핑한 활성제 Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온의 농도를 변화시키면서 고상 반응법을 사용하여 높은 발광 효율을 갖는 Ca2-1.5xSiO4::Eux3+ 적색 형광체와 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 백색 형광체를 합성하였다. 특히, 활성제 Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온 농도의 변화가 형광체의 결정 구조, 소성 온도, 입자의 표면 형상, 광학 스펙트럼의 발광 효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 최적의 합성 조건을 결정하였으며, 회절 신호의 반치폭과 발광 세기의 상호 관계를 조사하였다. Ca2-1.5xSiO4::Eux3+와 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 형광체 초기 분말 시료는 CaO (99.9% 순도), SiO2 (99.9%), Dy2O3 (99.9%)와 Eu2O3 (99.9%)인 화학 물질을 구입하여 초정밀 저울로 화학양론적으로 측정하였다. 이때 Eu와 Dy의 함량비는 x=0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 mol로 변화 시키면서 합성하였다. Ca2-1.5xSiO4: Dyx3+ 형광체 분말 시료의 경우에 소결 온도를 각각 $1000^{\circ}C$와 $1100^{\circ}C$로 달리하여 흡광과 발광 스펙트럼의 세기를 비교해 본 결과, 서로 다른 두 소결 온도에서 합성한 두 형광체 분말은 동일하게 Dy3+의 몰 비가 0.05 mol일 때 주 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 최대값을 나타내었다. 파장 355 nm로 여기시킨 Dy3+ 함량비에 따른 Ca2-1.5xSiO4:Dyx3+ 형광체 분말의 발광 스펙트럼은 Dy3+ 함량비에 관계 없이 581 nm에서 가장 강한 황색 발광을 보였다. 함량비가 증가함에 따라 발광 스펙트럼의 변화가 관측되었는데, Dy3+의 몰 비가 0.01 mol~0.05 mol인 영역에서는 발광 세기가 증가하여 0.05 mol에서 최대를 나타내다가 Dy3+의 몰 비가 더욱 증가함에 따라 발광세기는 현저히 감소하는 경향을 나타내었는데, 이 현상은 농도 소광 현상으로 해석 할 수 있다. 이외에도, Eu3+와 Dy3+ 이온의 함량비와 소결 온도가 결정 입자의 크기와 흡광 스펙트럼에 미치는 결과를 조사하였다.

The GdOBr:Ce phosphor were prepared by solid state reaction using starting chemicals of $Gd_2O_3,\;CeO_2\;and\;NH_4Br$. Under 370nm UV excitation, GdOBr:Ce phosphors showed blue emission band with a spectral range of 410∼430nm. The maximum photoluminescence(PL) emission intensity was observed at 2mol% Ce content. In order to look for feasibility of application for low voltage filed emission display, cathodoluminescence(CL) of GdOBr:Ce phosphors were measured. CL emission spectra was found to be in the range of 410∼430nm, which is the same as PL spectra. The phosphors with 1mol% Ce concentration showed the maximum CL emission intensity. For the comparison of degradation property of the prepared phosphors with commercial ones, the electron beam was applied for 10min. From the result, GdOBr:Ce could be used as a blue phosphor for FED.

This study was carried out to establish the optimum disruption condition of a sonificator for the protein toxin for the purpose of developing automatic biological agent detector equipped a sonificator. One of the best-known collisional quenchers is molecular oxygen, which quenches almost all known fluorophores. The sonification does an excellent job of degassing, which decreased the quenching effect and increased the fluorescence quantity. The fluorescence measurement for the protein using 0.7 X fluorescent dye concentration and above must be done in 1 minute and the fluorescence measurement for the protein using 0.3 X fluorescent dye concentration and below has to be done between 2 and 3 minute. The fluorescence quantity of the sonificatied protein sample was much higher that of the non-sonificatied protein sample. Sonificating the sample turned out to be favorable for the fluorescence measurement when measuring at the low protein concentration.

Membrane fouling control in water treatment may be the main obstacle for wider implementation and lower cost. A novel fluorescent spectroscope sensor device for membrane fouling integrity monitoring has been developed and evaluated in this study. PSf membranes for water treatment has been fabricated with three types of organic fluorescent materials, OB, FP, KCB. The fluorescent signal from membrane surface was analyzed throughout the filtration process. It was found that the fluorescent signal due to the membrane fouling decreased and the developed device is reliable for membrane fouling monitoring.

In order to determine the contamination of the aromatic hydrocarbons in soil, a fiber-optic sensing technique with fluorescence detector has been proposed. Previous researches have shown that the optimal condition for detecting benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX) was 260 nm /290 nm (excitation/emission wavelength). However, broader fluorescence spectra of BTEX-polluted soil sample ranging from 300 nm to 600 nm were observed. Additionally, the intensity of fluorescence increased with increasing BTEX concentration, which was conspicuous in the fine-particle soil, The overall results indicated that the suggested technique could be useful for in-situ monitoring system for subsurface oil-storage tank.

The potential of the chlorophyll fluorescence technique in screening eleven rice varieties for chill-sensitivity was assessed by measuring the change in the rate of rise of variable fluorescence (FR) and the maximum yield of variable fluorescence, F$\_$VAR/ (F$\_$MAX/-F$\_$0/) after 8 days chilling at 10$^{\circ}C$. The changes in both fluorescence parameters with chilling agreed well with visual assessments of injury carried out at the end of the chilling period. Furthermore, it was found that in the majority of the rice cultivars tested their chilling sensitivity agreed well with the rate of rise of chlorophyll fluorescence (F$\_$R/) measured at 25$^{\circ}C$. The method of chlorophyll fluorescence was rapid, reproducible, sensitive and non-destructive and it should be a valuable new tool in screening large numbers of closely related rice varieties for chilling sensitivity.

최근 방사선 진단 영역에 이용되고 있는 증감지는 입사된 방사선의 감도를 증가시키기 위해 형광체를 사용하고 있으며, 외부의 에너지를 흡수하여 빛으로 방출하는 역할을 한다. 이는 방사선 검출기, 디스플레이, 의료기기 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 필름에 X선을 노출 할 경우 형광체의 사용 유무에 따라 방사선 흡수 효율에 영향을 미치며, 이는 발광 효율 및 감도에 주요한 인자로 작용한다. 현재 상용화되어 있는 형광체는 낮은 발광 효율로 인한 한계를 가지므로, 발광 효율 향상을 위하여 제작 구조에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 중 반사막을 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 형광체의 제조를 위하여 보편적으로 이용하고 있는 스크린프린팅 방법에서 건조 공정을 수행 시 균일도가 감소하는 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 현상은 반사막의 증착을 불균일하게 만드는 원인으로 작용하고 빛의 산란을 초래하는 현상을 초래한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 증착 시 투명도 저하에 따라 반사율이 증가되는 반사막 성질을 가지며, 방수성 및 절연성과 같은 보호층 특성을 지닌 유기성 투명 박막 페를린에 대하여 연구하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 화학적 증기 증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)을 이용하여 투명 필름의 상단에 페를린을 코팅한 시편과 코팅하지 않은 시편으로 구분하여 제작하였고, 상단에 스크핀프린팅 방법을 활용하여 형광체를 도포 하였다. 시편 제작 후 실험은 시편을 필름 상단에 위치시키고, 일반진단에너지 대역(Model-SF 80)의 X선을 조사하였다. 이 후 현상기(model-pro14)를 통해 현상된 필름에 나타난 광학적 농도(Optical Density, O.D)를 농도계(Fluke Biomedical Nuclear Associates Densitometer)로 측정하였는데, 불확실성을 줄이기 위하여 총 5회를 측정하여 그 중 2번째로 높은 값을 도출하였다. 측정 결과, 페를린을 코팅한 형광체에서는 1.71의 O.D 값이 측정되었고, 페를린을 코팅하지 않은 형광체에서는 1.43의 O.D 값이 측정되었다. 이를 이용하여 투명도를 산출한 결과 상대적으로 약 1.76% 차이가 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 페를린 활용 시 환자의 피폭 선량 저감화 및 해상력 개선을 도모할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
