= Quenching
{synonym}
A reduction in <fluorescence> caused by a process competing with <photon emission>, for example a collision that removes excitation <energy> without emitting a <photon>. Measuring less <light> because fewer excitation <photons> reach the sample does not by itself establish fluorescence quenching.
