technique to visualize cells using glowing dyes

Fluorescent staining, also known as fluorescence labeling, is a technique used to visualize specific components of a sample, such as cells or tissues, by attaching fluorescent dyes or markers to them. When exposed to certain wavelengths of light, these dyes emit light of a different wavelength, making the labeled components glow and allowing researchers to observe and study their structure and function under a fluorescence microscope.
