Definition of Fluorescence microscopy

1. Noun. Light microscopy in which the specimen is irradiated at wavelengths that excite fluorochromes.

Medical Definition of Fluorescence microscopy

1. Any type of microscopy in which intrinsic or applied reagents are visualised. Intrinsic fluorescence is often referred to as auto fluorescence. The applied reagents typically include fluorescently labelled proteins that are reactive with sites in the specimen. In particular, fluorescently labelled antibodies are widely used to detect particular antigens in biological specimens.
