organic fluorophores

Organic fluorophores are molecules made of carbon-based structures that emit light when they absorb energy, usually from specific wavelengths like UV or visible light. They are widely used in scientific and medical imaging because they can be attached to other substances to help visualize and track biological processes. When illuminated, these fluorophores "glow" brightly for a short time, revealing details that are otherwise hidden. Their properties, such as brightness and stability, can be tailored through chemical design, making them versatile tools for research, diagnostics, and imaging applications.
