Summary Introduction
Fluorescent microscope is a kind of optical microscope, which uses phosphorescence as well as fluorescence to study the organic plus inorganic substances or samples. This microscopy excites a sample with a particular wavelength of light as well as forms an image that emits fluorescent light. Epifluorescent microscopy is the most commonly used kind of fluorescence microscopy.
