Fluorescent microscopy is often used to image specific features of small specimens such as microbes. It is also used to visually enhance 3-D features at small scales. This can be accomplished by attaching fluorescent tags to anti-bodies that in turn attach to targeted features, or by staining in a less specific manner.

What is a fluorescence microscope used for?

Fluorescence microscopy is highly sensitive, specific, reliable and extensively used by scientists to observe the localization of molecules within cells, and of cells within tissues.

What is the advantage of using fluorescence microscopy?

The Fluorescence Microscopy allows the researchers to identify various different molecules in the targeted specimen or sample at the same time. It helps to identify the specific molecules with the help of the fluorescence substances. Tracing the location of a specific protein in the specimen.
