Question
After a specimen stained with a fluorochrome is exposed to shorter wavelength light, what is the resulting characteristic of the image produced by a fluorescence microscope?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Page 10 states: 'The light is absorbed by the specimen stained with fluorochrome and releases fluorescent (or green) light of a longer wavelength. This produces a bright image on a dark background.'
Hint
The phenomenon of fluorescence means the specimen emits light, which is then observed against a dark field.
