fluorescences

Absorbed light re-emissions

Fluorescences is the plural of fluorescence, the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other radiation.

The term typically distinguishes between different instances or types of this phenomenon: The fluorescences of various minerals under UV light revealed their different compositions.

In scientific contexts, researchers may compare fluorescences across samples or conditions.
