Image for Fluorescent dyes

Fluorescent dyes

Fluorescent dyes are special chemicals that absorb light at one wavelength and emit it at a different, often brighter, wavelength. When attached to molecules or tissues, they allow scientists and doctors to visualize and track specific structures or processes under a fluorescence microscope. These dyes are invaluable in medical diagnostics, biological research, and imaging because they make invisible details stand out clearly, enhancing our understanding of how cells and systems function. Their ability to produce bright, specific signals helps in identifying structures, detecting diseases, and studying biological mechanisms with high precision.
