Fluorescence Microscopy

Fluorescence microscopy is a tool used in biology, material science, and biomedical sciences. The fluorescence microscope can reveal the presence of a single molecule. The basic function of a fluorescence microscope is to irradiate the specimen with a desired and specific band of wavelengths, and then to separate the much weaker emitted fluorescence from the excitation light.

The fluorescence microscopy images shown below were captured using the Fein Optic RB30-GFP fluorescence microscope and the Lumenera Infinity 3S-1UR microscope camera.
