Fluorescence microscopy
Luminescent or fluorescent microscopy, based on the phenomenon of luminescence of microorganisms, is a research method based on the ability of microorganisms to glow as a result of special chemical reactions caused by their vital activity. The method defines how
Fluorescence microscopy is one of the most modern microscopy methods, which allows you to study objects under a microscope using fluorescence. This method is based on the use of light with different wavelengths, which allows one to obtain more detailed information about the structure and properties of the objects under study.
Fluorescence microscopy is a very effective method for analyzing cells and tissues and can be used to study various biological structures such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, as well as plant and animal cells. This method is widely used in medicine and biology, making it possible to detect various diseases and infections at an early stage.
In the production of fluorescence microscopy, special fluorophores-dyes are used, which are attached to the molecules of the substance under study. When an object is illuminated with ultraviolet light, the dyes begin to fluoresce, that is, emit light with a certain wavelength. Using filters and light filters, different colors of light can be distinguished and information about various characteristics of the object being studied can be obtained.
One of the main advantages of fluorescence microscopy is the ability to quickly and accurately measure the volume and shape of cells, as well as the distance between them. This method also makes it possible to determine the density of cells and their structure, which makes it an indispensable tool in the study of biological objects.
