Abstract A fluorescence correlation experiment for measurement of rotational diffusion in the nanosecond time scale is described. Using this method, the rotational diffusion coefficient of bovine carbonic anhydrase B labelled with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate was estimated to be D r=(1.14±0.15)×107 s-1 at 22°C. The experiment is based on a cw argon ion laser, a microfluorimeter with local solution flow inside the sample cell, and two photon detectors. The fluorescence intensity autocorrelation function in the nanosecond time range is computed with the help of a time-to-amplitude converter and a multichannel pulse-amplitude analyser.
