Abstract
Summary form only given. Airborne biological particles are minor but important component of Earth´s atmosphere. They can cause disease in humans, animals, and plants. Therefore, the rapid real-time measurements of fluorescence spectra of airborne particles for the discrimination and characterization among biological aerosols would be useful. In this paper a new method for real-time measurement of reproducible, high signal-to-noise ratio, single-shot UV laser excited fluorescence spectra of various flowing individual biological aerosols is described.
