Mark,
I enjoyed your post a lot.
I would be concerned, though, that Becherovka could cause some
autofluorescence of the tissue. After all, it contains "extracts from 27
healing herbs", so who knows what it would do to the sample. Perhaps I
should run a sample to get the absorption and fluorescence spectrum of
Becherovka. I happen to have a bottle at home.
