Question
You are a student at a pretty small undergraduate college. You have the opportunity to study riboflavin (vitamin B) from a variety of sources (pills,foods, urine...) and your research advisor wants you to build a fluorimeter, a simple one, just for this purpose. Your advisor directs you to a cabinet with a variety of parts and tells you not to spend any money on this project. Build a fluorimeter from the parts listed below (and any common items in the office/house/chem lab) and justify your choices.
