Fluorescence microscopy is an advanced imaging technique extensively employed in the fields of biology and materials science to observe structures and processes at the cellular and molecular levels. This versatile tool empowers researchers to visualize and analyze various biological and material-related phenomena with exceptional sensitivity and spatial resolution.
The primary types of fluorescence microscopy are upright fluorescence microscopy and inverted fluorescence microscopy. Upright fluorescence microscopy describes a microscopy configuration in which the sample under observation is illuminated from below, while the objective lens and detector are positioned above the sample. This setup is applied across diverse fields such as biology, medical science, and materials science. End-users include hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, academic institutions, and research institutes.
