Fluorescence is an example of cold light, a process that is not accompanied by the heat of combustion or incandescence (i.e. emission of light due to high temperatures).
|
 |
C•spec® particles are a proven technology for visualizing events and locations in and around cells with traditional fluorescence microscopes.
