A general tutorial survey is presented describing the use of ultrafast streak cameras in picosecond fluorometry. Current instruments exhibit time resolutions of 1-10 ps with detection sensitivities of a few photoelectrons. When linear photoelectric recording is employed, a real-time direct display of optical transients is provided. Representative examples from the literature in physics, chemistry, and biology are given, as well as an extensive bibliography.
