5). This fluorophore combination is a known FRET pair14 and thus in combination with the “saturated” loading of both fluorophores leads to a complex relationship in the observed spectra, with the TAMRA fluorescent acceptor intensity changing in response to the fluorescein levels. The resulting ...
The results presented in this section therefore confirm the analyses and hypotheses made previously: thermal cycling leads to an evolution of the matrix and volume damage, even at the lowest temperatures. This ageing leads to changes in mechanical properties, i.e., a reduction in the CTE and ul...
