fluorophore labeling

Fluorophore labeling is a technique used in science and medicine where special molecules called fluorophores are attached to specific parts of a sample, such as cells or proteins. These fluorophores can absorb light at one wavelength and emit it at another, glowing under a special microscope. This makes it easier to visualize and study the structure, function, and interactions of biological molecules in detail. Essentially, fluorophore labeling highlights particular components within a complex sample, allowing researchers to observe and track them with great precision.
