The confocal microscope SYCLOPS (SYCLOPS is not an acronym although the first syllable is derived from its main light source, a synchrotron radiation source) at the Daresbury Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) Laboratory, U.K., has been designed to facilitate fluorescence decay measurements on microscopic volume elements. SYCLOPS utilizes the Daresbury Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) as a pulsed light source. Visible or UV excitation light is selected from the white synchrotron radiation spectrum with a bandpass filter matching the absorption band of the fluorophores. Decay curves of fluorescence intensity emitted by a pre-selected micro-volume in the sample can be acquired with standard time-correlated single-photon counting techniques. The fluorescence intensity was collected from a confocal spot with a volume of 3 μm3. The first lifetime measurements done with the instrument were carried out on a coumestrol l]benzopyran-6-one) solution and on different cellular compartments of living cells incubated with coumestrol.

Although aluminium acetylacetonate, Al(C5H7O2)3, is a common precursor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of aluminium oxide, its gas phase decomposition is not very well investigated. Here, we studied its thermal...

Acinetobacter baumanniiis a common multidrug-resistant clinical pathogen that is often found in hospitals. TheA. baumanniiphosphoglycerate kinase (AbPGK) is involved in the key energy-producing pathway of glycolysis and presents a potential target for antibiotic development.AbPGK has been expressed and purified; it was crystallized using lithium sulfate as the precipitant. TheAbPGK crystals belonged to space groupP2221. They diffracted to a resolution of 2.5 Å using synchrotron radiation at the Canadian Light Source.

A more efficient use of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation produced by an immersed Xe-excimer light source (172 nm) was investigated for the oxidative degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous systems. All emitted VUV radiation from one light source was used in two simultaneous but separate photochemical reactions: (1) photochemical generation of ozone by irradiating oxygen in the gas phase and (2) photolysis of the aqueous reaction system. The gas stream containing the generated ozone is sparged into the reaction system, thus enhancing the oxidative degradation of organic pollutants. The photochemically generated ozone in the gas phase was quantitatively analyzed, and the kinetics of the degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were determined under different experimental conditions. The results show that the rates of degradation of the substrate and of the DOC decrease in the order of the applied processes, VUV/O3 > O3 > VUV.
