Image for fluorescence imaging

fluorescence imaging

Fluorescence imaging is a technique used to visualize and study specimens by detecting the light emitted from fluorescent substances. When certain materials are exposed to specific wavelengths of light, they absorb energy and emit it at a different wavelength, often as visible light. This allows researchers to see structures within cells or tissues that are otherwise invisible. Commonly used in biological and medical research, fluorescence imaging helps identify the presence and location of proteins, DNA, and other molecules, aiding in the understanding of various biological processes and diseases.
