fluorescence [floo͡-res´ens] the property of emitting light while exposed to light, the wavelength of the emitted light being longer than that of the absorbed light.fluorescence microscopy the use of a microscope" >fluorescence microscope to identify microorganisms or specific tissue constituents that have been stained with a fluorochrome or a fluorochrome-labeled substance (such as an antibody to a tissue antigen). A fluorescent antibody test can be used in place of time-consuming culture methods for identifying bacteria. See also immunofluorescence.
microscopy [mi-kros´kah-pe] examination with a microscope.fluorescence microscopy conjugation of antibodies with fluorescent dyes in order to identify specific microorganisms or tissue constituents; see also fluorescence microscopy.fluor·es·cence mi·cros·co·pya procedure based on the fact that fluorescent materials emit visible light when they are irradiated with ultraviolet or violet-blue visible rays; some materials manifest this property naturally, whereas others may be treated with fluorescent solutions (somewhat analogous to staining); when the absorption of the specimen is in the relatively long ultraviolet range a filter that transmits these radiations is used, and a yellow filter is placed on or in the ocular; the background field is then dark, and any yellow or red fluorescence becomes visible.fluorescence microscopyn. Microscopy using naturally fluorescent or treated materials that emit visible light when they are irradiated with ultraviolet or violet-blue visible rays.fluor·es·cence mi·cros·co·py (flōr-es'ĕns mī-kros'kŏ-pē) A procedure based on the fact that fluorescent materials emit visible light when they are irradiated with ultraviolet or violet-blue visible rays; some materials manifest this property naturally, whereas others may be treated with fluorescent solutions (somewhat analogous to staining). fluorescence microscopy a method of microscopy in which fluorescent dyes are used to mark certain structures (e.g. nucleic acids) which can then be viewed with an ultraviolet microscope.AcronymsSeefast lanefluorescence microscopy
