Fuorescence correlation spectroscopy is extended to systems that undergo translation or laminar flow in a sample cell. Theoretical and experimental results are included; uniform and non-uniform velocity profiles are considered. Concentration correlation analysis extracts microscopic rate parameters from measurements of the spontaneous concentration fluctuations, which occur even at equilibrium. Fluorescence is one of the most sensitive means of monitoring these fluctuations. Analysis of flowing or translating systems offers a method of measuring number concentrations of selected species, i.e., of aggregates or polymers, provides a nonperturbing velocity probe, sometimes allows one to circumvent photolytic degradation, has proved extremely helpful in testing and aligning apparatus for fluorescence correlation measurements and in verifying theoretical analyses and may be required for interpretation of results obtained on systems in motion, even though that motion is undesired or initially unsuspected. Theoretical and experimental results for combined Poiseuille flow and diffusion are included in the geometry which is of most practical interest. Theoretical expressions for the much simpler cases of nondiffusive Poiseuille flow as well as uniform flow or translation with or without diffusion constitute limiting cases which are displayed explicitly.
