ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a simple and direct method for the simultaneous correction of steady-state polarized fluorescence intensities, depolarized (or scrambled) by the effects of applied hydrostatic pressure without having to first determine the scrambling factors from a separate experiment. The method involves direct recalculation of the measured polarized data obtained for the sample of interest at the time of data collection.
