Tests based on monoclonal antibodies and immunofluorescence, including Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay ( TPHA ) and Fluorescent Treponemal Antibody Absorption ( FTA-ABS ) are more specific and more expensive.

Fluorescent penetrants contain two or more dyes that fluoresce when excited by ultraviolet ( UV-A ) radiation ( also known as black light ).

* One or more Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps ( CCFLs )

* One or more Hot Cathode Fluorescent Lamps ( HCFLs )

* One or more External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps ( EEFLs )

Songs such as " Fluorescent Adolescent " and " Do Me a Favour " explored failed relationships, nostalgia and growing old, while musically the band took up a more uptempo and aggressive sound.

Fluorescent emission is contingent upon absorption of a specific optical wavelength or color which restricts the choice of lamps.

Fluorescent angiography, ERG, and color vision tests are important tools to help facilitate diagnosis in early stages.

Fluorescent lights were first available to the public at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

Fluorescent activity is a short term or rapid emission response, unlike phosphorescence, which is a delayed emission.

Clarke's poem " Out of Control Fairground " was printed inside Arctic Monkeys ' single " Fluorescent Adolescent " CD, which was released on 9 July 2007.

Fluorescent X-rays are scattered by atoms in a sample and provide the object wave, which is referenced to non-scattered X-rays.

It is a tagging technique in molecular biology in which DNA Polymerase I is used to replace some of the nucleotides of a DNA sequence with their labeled analogues, creating a tagged DNA sequence which can be used as a probe in Fluorescent in situ hybridization or blotting techniques.

Fluorescent paints offer a wide range of pigments and chroma which also ' glow ' when exposed to the long-wave " ultraviolet " frequencies ( UV ).

Fluorescent lights, laptop computers and gas-powered refrigerators save electricity, although gas-powered refrigerators are not very efficient.

* Biotechnology: biosensors using fluorescence are being studied as possible Fluorescent glucose biosensors.

Fluorescent dyes are used to label cellular compartments for a similar purpose.

Fluorescent imaging techniques, as well as electron microscopy, x-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy ( AFM ) are often used to visualize structures of biological significance.

* Video How Fluorescent Tubes are Manufactured

Fluorescent dyes can be chosen to obtain light emission at different wavelengths, and compounds such as perylene, rubrene and quinacridone derivatives are often used.

Also at WSU are the Harold E. Culver Collection, with fossils of pre-historic animals ; the Lyle and Lela Jacklin Collection of Silicified Wood & Minerals ; and S. Elroy McCaw Fluorescent Mineral Display.

Fluorescent orange lane markings are used in construction zones along the 400-Series Highways.

There are a number of treponemal-specific tests such as the Fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption ( FTA-ABS ) test, Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assays ( TPHA and MHA-TP )( Microhemagglutination assay ( MHA-TP ).

Reporter genes such as GUS and Green Fluorescent Protein ( GFP ) are utilized in combination with plant selective markers ( herbicide, antibody etc.

Most common targets are Chlorophyll, Fluorescein, Rhodamine, Green Fluorescent Protein, and Colorated Dissolved Organic Matter ( CDOM ).

Fluorescent in situ hybridization ( FISH ) and Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) are the two commonly used, first-generation technologies in PGD.

Fluorescent reporters are small, organic molecules used for IHC detection and traditionally include FITC, TRITC and AMCA, while commercial derivatives, including the Alexa Fluors and Dylight Fluors, show similar enhanced performance but vary in price.

Today, Futabas two main products lines are radio controls on the one hand and press die set components, mold base components and VFD ( Vacuum Fluorescent Displays ) modules.
