Abstract

A study has been performed that provides the first fluorescence lifetime results on the intrinsic fluorescence monitored for specific in situ biochemical components of individual pollen grains. The results obtained show that such measurements can provide a basis for analytical discrimination between a variety of airborne grass and tree pollen.
