Fluorescent Micro Thermal Imaging (FMI)
This technique involves coating a sample surface with a special Thermal sensitive fluorescent rare earth-based thin film dye that, upon exposure to UV light, Emits temperature-dependent fluorescence at 612nm.
Because of the temperature, emission/absorption characteristics, availability, and other qualities. More specifically, it has the best fit for temperature dependent
fluorescence quantum yield in the temperature range near room temperature.
