What Are the Applications of Fluorescence Illumination in Histology?
Fluorescence illumination is widely used in various histological applications:
Immunofluorescence - detecting specific proteins using antibodies labeled with fluorescent dyes. In situ hybridization - localizing specific nucleic acid sequences within tissues. Live-cell imaging - studying cellular processes in real-time using fluorescent proteins. Pathology - identifying disease markers in tissue samples for diagnostic purposes.
