Fluorescence microscopy has become an ideal microscopy technique for the examination of all biological specimens, fixed or alive, because it allows the selective and specific detection of ...

Available in many lengths and several diameters, the tube is lined with a fluorescent phosphor. When the mercury is excited by electricity, it emits ultraviolet (UV) light, which causes the ...

In addition to sunlight, ultraviolet rays are also given off by several different forms of indoor lighting, including compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s). CFL’s are commonly long, cylinder shaped and ...

It's possible that the photo was edited to emphasize the animal's fluorescent qualities, but it is otherwise authentic, and in general, it is true that quolls — and many other mammals — have ...

Fluorescent lamps are high-efficiency lamps that use electrical discharge through low-pressure mercury vapor to produce ultraviolet (UV) energy, which is then transformed into visible light. The UV ...
