Picture Tour

The Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) occupies a ~8000 sq. ft. facility at the Biomedical Engineering Department in the interdisciplinary Natural Sciences II building of the University of California, Irvine. It maintains a state-of-the-art laboratory for fluorescence measurements with resources forspectroscopy,microscopy,biochemistry, cell culture, anddata analysis.
