A fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence instead of, or in addition to, scattering, reflection, and attenuation or absorption, to study the properties of organic or inorganic substances.
A fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence and phosphorescence instead of, or in addition to, reflection and absorption to study the properties of organic or inorganic substances.
Fluorescence microscopy is a light microscope that works on the principle of fluorescence. A substance is said to be fluorescent when it absorbs the energy of invisible shorter wavelength radiation (such as UV light) and emits longer wavelength radiation of visible light (such as green or red light).
A fluorescence microscope is a specialized optical instrument designed to study the properties of organic or inorganic substances using the principles of fluorescence and phosphorescence. These phenomena are distinct from reflection and absorption, which are commonly employed in traditional microscopy.
The modern fluorescence microscope combines the power of high performance optical components with computerized control of the instrument and digital image acquisition to achieve a level of sophistication that far exceeds that of simple observation by the human eye.
Fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool for modern cell and molecular biologists and, in particular, neurobiologists. It provides a window into the physiology of living cells at sub-cellular levels of resolution.
Fluorescent microscopy is a special type of optical microscopy where a fluorescent sample is illuminated with light of certain wavelength (sample-dependent), and the emitted photons are measured. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic.
Fluorescence microscopy uses a fluorescence mechanism to generate an image and optical sectioning for high resolution. It is available in different designs. The epifluorescence microscopes have the most common and simple setup, while confocal microscopes have a sophisticated setup.
Fluorescence is the property of atoms and molecules, so called fluorophores, to absorb light at a particular wavelength and to subsequently emit light of longer wavelength. Fluorescence microscopy can be based on autofluorescence or the addition of fluorescent dyes.
Fluorescence microscopy is an excellent method of studying material that can be made to fluoresce, either in its natural form (termed primary or autofluorescence) or when treated with chemicals capable of fluorescing (known as secondary fluorescence).
