Fluorescent Probes

Fluorescent probes are special molecules that can absorb light and then re-emit it, usually at a different color. They are used in various scientific fields, particularly in biology and chemistry, to study cells, tissues, and other substances. By attaching these probes to specific targets (like proteins or DNA), scientists can visualize and track them under a microscope. This helps researchers understand cellular processes, identify disease markers, and develop new medical treatments. Fluorescent probes are valuable tools for gaining insight into the complex workings of living organisms.
