Fluorescence Imaging

Fluorescence Imaging is a microscopy technique used to visualize the fluorescent light emitted from molecules which have been exposed to a specific wavelength of light. Fluorescence Imaging is an important tool for biomedical research to assess the location and activity of specific molecules in a live sample. Fluorescence Imaging can be used to observe the interplay of several proteins within a given cell, or even different cells or tissues. Fluorescence Imaging is also often used to study the intracellular dynamics of a cell in response to stimuli or drugs. In the clinical setting, Fluorescence Imaging is used to identify and differentiate cancer cells from healthy ones, to assess the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs, and to diagnose various diseases.
