NCIt synonyms : Microscopy, Light, Fluorescence; Fluorescence Light Microscopy;

NCIt related terms : FLUORESCENT MICROSCOPY;

NCIt definition : A technique in which samples that either contain fluorescent compounds or are stained with fluorescent dyes are exposed to a wavelength of light that excites the fluorophore, allowing for an image to be captured by a microscope.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: The use of a special microscope to see objects that give off fluorescent light. For example, cells or tissue can be treated with a substance that contains a fluorescent dye.
