What Are the Alternatives to UV Output in Histology?
Alternatives to UV output in histology include visible light and infrared (IR) light-based imaging techniques. Visible light microscopy, such as bright-field and phase-contrast microscopy, does not involve UV radiation and is safer for both tissue samples and researchers. Near-IR fluorescence microscopy is another alternative that offers deeper tissue penetration and reduced photodamage compared to UV-based methods.
