Microsecond! fluorescent measurements<br />

with Trolox + cysteamine<br />

Oxygen helps stop triplet-state build-up<br />

BUT oxygen promotes photobleaching<br />

For rapid photon cycling-<br />

1. leave oxygen in<br />

2. add Trolox to further quench triplet state<br />

3. include cysteamine (a thiol) to protect<br />

from singlet oxygen <strong>and</strong> hydroxyl radicals<br />
