The main difference between the two is the lasting power of the glowing. Phosphorescent materials glow for a longer period of time, and what's usually considered 'glow in the dark'. Fluorescent glows under blacklight, but this light does not remain at all afterwards.

It depends on what "stuff" you mean. Phosphorescence, fluorescence, luminescence, and incandescence are all possibilities.

The word phosphorescence is a material similar to fluorescence but it does not give out light quickly. It does this because it slowly absorbs radiation.

The difference between a spectrophotometer and a fluorometer is what they both measure. A spectrophotometer measures absorbance and a fluorometer measures fluorescence.

There are actually quite a few properties to classify rocks and minerals. Some of these are chemical composition, radioactivity, phosphorescence, grain size, hardness, color, streak and fluorescence.

flourescence is more sensetive than UV detection

Atoms, molecules, or solids that are excited to high energy levels can decay to lower levels by emitting radiation (emission or luminescence). For atoms excited by a high-temperature energy source this light emission is commonly called atomic or optical emission (see atomic-emission spectroscopy) and for atoms excited with light it is called atomic fluorescence (see atomic-fluorescence spectroscopy). For molecules it is called fluorescence if the transition is between states of the same spin and phosphorescence…

one Major difference is confocal microscopy has confocality which means it reduces the background signal which is not presented in conventional fluorescence microscope usually termed as epifluorescence microscope
