Optical sensors: fluorescence signals from sewage and stream samples

Detailed Description

Example fluorescence signals from sewage and stream samples measured using a laboratory-based instrument. The difference in response between the two sources can be used to identify spectral regions for potential sensors that could be used to identify the presence of sewage in a water sample. [RU, relative fluorescence units]
