Abstract
Many dyes fluoresce when they are irradiated with light of particular wavelengths. This is the basis of some specific microscopical staining techniques, especially in the field of immunology. Where activation depends on blue-violet light the quartz-iodine lamp is a useful and convenient source for fluorescence microscopy.
