fluorophores and region
A TIRFM uses an evanescent wave to selectively illuminate and excite fluorophores in a restricted region of the specimen immediately adjacent to the glass-water interface.

fluorophores and high
Since photobleaching consists in the permanent inactivation of excited fluorophores, resonance energy transfer from an excited donor to an acceptor fluorophore prevents the photobleaching of that donor fluorophore, and thus high FRET efficiency leads to a longer photobleaching decay time constant:

fluorophores and intensity
For fluorophores in solution this means that the intensity and polarization of the emitted light is dependent on rotational diffusion.
Using this so-called SPDMphymod ( physically modifiable fluorophores ) technology a single laser wavelength of suitable intensity is sufficient for nanoimaging.
Loss of activity caused by photobleaching can be controlled by reducing the intensity or time-span of light exposure, by increasing the concentration of fluorophores, or by employing more robust fluorophores that are less prone to bleaching ( e. g., Alexa Fluors, Seta Fluors, or DyLight Fluors ).
In contrast to intensity-based FRET measurements, the FLIM-based FRET measurements are also insensitive to the concentration of fluorophores and can thus filter out artifacts introduced by variations in the concentration and emission intensity across the sample.
Because two photons are absorbed during the excitation of the fluorophore, the probability for fluorescent emission from the fluorophores increases quadratically with the excitation intensity.

fluorophores and illumination
Several techniques exist to reduce photobleaching such as the use of more robust fluorophores, by minimizing illumination, or by using photoprotective scavenger chemicals.

fluorophores and which

The light that is not reflected by the dichroic mirror and which has a wavelength different from that emitted and impinges on it goes through an interference filter ( F2 ) which can be adjusted to a specific wavelength, thus discriminating between different fluorophores, to ultimately impinge on a photomultiplier tube ( D3 ), this is the Side FLuorescence detector ( SFL )
Newer generations of fluorophores, many of which are proprietary, often perform better ( more photostable, brighter, and / or less pH-sensitive ) than traditional dyes with comparable excitation and emission.
These fluorophores fluoresce thanks to delocalized electrons which can jump a band and stabilize the energy absorbed.
With advances in imaging and detection technology which can avoid rapid photobleaching, protein fluorophores have become a viable and powerful tool for researchers in fields such as microscopy, microarray analysis and Western blotting.
For example, fluorophores conjugated to cholera-toxin B-subunit, which binds to the raft constituent ganglioside GM1 is used extensively.
Yet researchers can detect differences in the polarisation between the light which excites the fluorophores and the light which is emitted, in a technique called FRET anisotropy imaging ; the level of quantified anisotropy ( difference in polarisation between the excitation and emission beams ) then becomes an indicative guide to how many FRET events have happened.
The specimen is illuminated with light of a specific wavelength ( or wavelengths ) which is absorbed by the fluorophores, causing them to emit light of longer wavelengths ( i. e., of a different color than the absorbed light ).
There are many fluorescent reported molecules, called fluorophores or fluorochromes such as fluorescein, Alexa Fluors or DyLight 488, which can be chemically linked to a different molecule which binds the target of interest within the sample.
There is a considerable Stokes shift between the excitation and emission spectra that makes Hoechst dyes useful in experiments in which multiple fluorophores are used.

fluorophores and their
For example, from a data set comprising fluorescence spectra from a series of samples each containing multiple fluorophores, multivariate curve resolution methods can be used to extract the fluorescence spectra of the individual fluorophores, along with their relative concentrations in each of the samples, essentially unmixing the total fluorescence spectrum into the contributions from the individual components.
Quantum dots are sometimes used in place of traditional fluorophores because of their narrower emission peaks.
The following table gives diffusion coefficients of some common fluorophores in water at room temperature, and their excitation wavelengths.

fluorophores and fluorescence
It is also used in fluorescence microscopy for image restoration, and in fluorescence spectral imaging for spectral separation of multiple unknown fluorophores.
Other parameters should be considered, as the polarity of the fluorophore molecule, the fluorophore size and shape ( i. e. for polarization fluorescence pattern ), and other factors can change the behavior of fluorophores.
When these molecules are excited and detected with a conventional fluorescence microscope, the resulting fluorescence from those fluorophores bound to the surface is often overwhelmed by the background fluorescence due to the much larger population of non-bound molecules.
When a population of fluorophores is excited by an ultrashort or delta pulse of light, the time-resolved fluorescence will decay exponentially as described above.
The most commonly used fluorophores have excitation spectra in the 400 – 500 nm range, whereas the laser used to excite the two-photon fluorescence lies in the ~ 700 – 1000 nm ( infrared ) range.

fluorophores and limited
Because there are a limited number of spectrally-distinct fluorophores, a combinatorial labeling method is used to generate many different colors.

fluorophores and photons
However, for the majority of ( bio ) organic fluorophores — e. g. green fluorescent protein, rhodamine, Cy3 and Alexa Fluor dyes — some fraction of illuminated particles are excited to a triplet state ( or other non-radiative decaying states ) and then do not emit photons for a characteristic relaxation time.

fluorophores and ).
Labelling multiple antibodies with different fluorophores allows visualization of multiple targets within a single image ( multiple channels ).
Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer, also known as Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer ( FRET in both cases ) is the term given to the process where two excited " fluorophores " pass energy one to the other non-radiatively ( i. e., without exchanging a photon ).
Autofluorescence is the natural emission of light by biological structures such as mitochondria and lysosomes when they have absorbed light, and is used to distinguish the light originating from artificially added fluorescent markers ( fluorophores ).

region and receive
Axons are distinguished from dendrites by several features, including shape ( dendrites often taper while axons usually maintain a constant radius ), length ( dendrites are restricted to a small region around the cell body while axons can be much longer ), and function ( dendrites usually receive signals while axons usually transmit them ).
