Title :
Depth-selective fluorescence spectroscopy

Abstract :
Variations in the origin of detected fluorescence signals due to illumination/collection parameters were studied through Monte Carlo modeling. In many cases, proper design of normal- or oblique-incidence geometries may enable depth-selective interrogation of turbid media.
