Fluorescent probes are molecules that absorb light of a specific wavelength and emit light of a different, typically longer, wavelength (a process known as fluorescence), and are used to study ...

Their research is based on E. coli bacteria in UTIs. The team are combining a novel series of chemical probes, Fluorescent Carbon Dots (FCDs), that can attach to bacteria to make them fluorescent, ...

Fluorescence excitation is provided by the Zeiss Colibri 7 LED system, with filters suitable for almost every visible wavelength fluorophore. The system is operated using Zeiss's Zen Blue software.

Fluorescence techniques are a potentially valuable way to image the relevant tissues ... "However, preclinical studies have shown the potential power of two-color FGS strategies to visualize nerve and ...
