Several fluorescent dyes are commonly used in histology, each with its own specific excitation and emission spectra. Some widely used dyes include:
DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) for DNA staining. FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate) for labeling proteins and antibodies. TRITC (Tetramethylrhodamine) for labeling proteins and antibodies. Alexa Fluor dyes for a wide range of applications due to their brightness and stability.
