A simple device to demonstrate the principles of fluorimetry was constructed using low-cost components that are readily obtained. These components were a mini ultraviolet fluorescent lamp, a plastic cell holder, borosilicate glass tubes, and a photoresistor (LDR). The LDR resistance was measured by a multimeter interfaced to a computer for data acquisition and processing. A calibration curve was constructed to relate the fluorescence of quinine bisulfate (QBS) solutions with the LDR resistance. QBS fluorescence quenching by NaCl was studied by the Stern-Volmer approach. The apparatus was designed to permit the direct observation of the following features of the fluorescence phenomenon: (i) the wavelength shift between excitation and emission light, (ii) the increase of emission intensity with increasing fluorophore concentration, and (iii) the inner filter effect for highly concentrated QBS solutions.
