The largest giant squid recorded by scientists measured 43 feet (12 meters) long, according to Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Faked photo of a giant squid supposedly found In California. An image of a monster 160-foot-long (49-meter-long) giant squid made the social media rounds yesterday, but fear notâit's a hoax.
luminescence - light not due to incandescence; occurs at low temperatures. light, visible light, visible radiation - (physics) electromagnetic radiation that can produce a visual sensation; the light was filtered through a soft glass window.
Fluorescence is a member of the ubiquitous luminescence family of processes in which susceptible molecules emit light from electronically excited states created by either a physical (for example, absorption of light), mechanical (friction), or chemical mechanism.ormally, the fluorescence lifetime is defined as the time in which the initial fluorescence intensity of a fluorophore decays to 1/e (approximately 37 percent) of the initial intensity (see Figure 5(a)).
