Description : In a fluorescence Microscope technique, a high intensity mercury arc lamp is used as the light source. It emits white light, which is passed through an ‘exciter filter’. It allows only the blue component of the white light to pass through it and blocks out all other colour components. A dichroic mirror, which reflects blue light, but allows green light is used on the path of the blue light. The mirror is fixed at such an angle that the blue light is reflected downward to the specimen. The specimen is previously stained with a fluorescent dye. Certain portions of the specimen retain the dye, while others do not. The portions, which retain the fluorescent dye, absorb blue light and emit green light. The emitted green light goes upward and passes through the dichroic mirror. It reflects back blue light, if any, and allows only green light to pass through. Then, the light reaches a ‘barrier filter’. It allows green light to pass to eye and blocks out any residual blue light from the speci
