What is fluorescence microscopy?

Fluorescence microscopy is an optical microscopy technique that uses fluorescence to study the properties of organic or inorganic substances. A sample is illuminated with light of a specific wavelength, which excites fluorophores (fluorescent substances) in the sample, causing them to emit light of a longer wavelength. This emitted light is then detected to create an image. It is commonly used in biological and medical research to visualize specific structures or molecules within cells and tissues.
