What are the Challenges in Using Fluorescence Imaging for Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, there are several challenges associated with fluorescence imaging in catalysis:
Photobleaching: The fluorescent molecules can lose their ability to emit light over time, complicating long-term studies. Phototoxicity: High-intensity light used for excitation can damage the sample or alter the catalytic process. Fluorescent Labeling: Introducing fluorescent probes without affecting the catalytic properties of the system can be difficult. Complex Data Analysis: The data generated can be complex, requiring sophisticated software and expertise for analysis.
