Vedclass · Answer

(D) fluorescence microscope is a specialized optical microscope that uses fluorescence and phosphorescence instead of,or in addition to,reflection and absorption to study the properties of organic or inorganic substances. It is primarily used to localize specific cellular structures or molecules by staining them with fluorochrome dyes (fluorescent probes). When these dyes are excited by a specific wavelength of light,they emit light of a longer wavelength,allowing researchers to visualize the precise location of the targeted components within the cell.
