fluorochrome
(noun)
Any of various fluorescent dyes used to stain biological material before microscopic examination
Examples of fluorochrome in the following topics:
-
Fluorescence Microscopy
- Cells or organisms stained with fluorochromes appear colored against a dark background when fixed on a glass slide .
-
Interference Microscopy
- Fluorescence differential interference contrast (FLIC) microscopy was developed by combining fluorescence microscopy with DIC to minimize the effects of photobleaching on fluorochromes bound to the stained specimen.
