Fluorescence microscope
A fluorescence microscope is a type of light microscope that uses fluorescent dyes or proteins to visualize samples. It is widely used in biological research to study the structure and function of cells and tissues.
About
It is widely used in biological research to study the structure and function of cells and tissues. This microscope works by exciting fluorescent molecules in the sample with a specific wavelength of light, causing them to emit light of a different color. By using a series of filters, the emitted light can be separated from the excitation light, allowing the researcher to observe specific molecules or structures within the sample. Fluorescence microscopy has several advantages over traditional light microscopy, including increased sensitivity and specificity, and the ability to study dynamic processes in living cells. This technology has contributed to numerous discoveries in fields such as cell biology, genetics, and immunology, and continues to be a valuable tool in scientific research.
