The two traces show the absorbance of a 10 µmol/L solution of BODIPY@ dye in ethanol. The solid and dashed traces were obtained for samples outside (called A1 in the text) and inside (called A3 in the text) the integrating sphere (IS) detector respectively. The large decrease in the absorbance for the sample inside the IS detector is due to the emitted fluorescence. The IS detector cannot distinguish between transmitted and fluorescence photons, and interprets the fluorescence photons as transmitted photons.
