Fluorescent Microscopy

Fluorescent microscopy is a technique used to visualize specific structures or molecules within cells by making them glow. Scientists attach special substances called fluorescent dyes or proteins to these targets. When illuminated with a particular type of light, these dyes emit a bright, fluorescent color that stands out against a dark background. This allows researchers to see and study the organization, location, and behavior of specific cell components with high sensitivity and clarity, providing valuable insights into biological processes at the microscopic level.
