Two common methods of obtaining nanosecond time‐resolved spectra (TRES) are compared. TRES measured directly are distorted owing to convolution of the fluorescence signal with the exciting pulse but can be obtained with ease. Undistorted TRES, constructed from deconvoluted decay curves, suffer from poor spectral resolution, require much experimental and computation time to produce and may not be completely free from distortions. Nevertheless, they must be used for quantitative calculations. It is recommended that the method of obtaining TRES should be determined by the type of information required.
