Epi-Flourescence Microscopes.com announces it is the
ultimate source for all fluorescence microscopy and equipment needs.

(St. Louis, Missouri) Epi-Flourescence Microscopes.com, the
leader in the production and distribution of fluorescence microscopes, announces it
is equipped to be the ultimate source for all fluorescence microscopy and equipment
needs. Epi-Flourescence Microscopes.com has both upright fluorescence microscopes
for viewing fluorescing specimens on glass microscope slides, and inverted
fluorescence microscopes for viewing fluorescing specimens in petri dishes.

Flourescence microscopy differs from other forms of microscopy due to the fact
that the visible light that is visible through the microscope eyepieces is not the
same light that comes from the light source, but rather, it is the light that has
fluoresced from the fluorescing microscope specimen. Flourescence microscopes use
either a xenon or mercury lamp to produce ultraviolet light, which is the light used
in the fluorescence process. The process involves passing alight from a high
intensity light source through a dichroic filter cube with a fluorescing bandpass
excitation filter inside. This filter will then only allow specific waveflengths to
course through and onto the specimen. What is then seen through the microscope
eyepieces is actually the fluoresced image of the specimen.

Flourescence microscopy is most important in the study of organic and inorganic
material. Current applications for fluorescence microscopes are analysis of
biological samples, as well as medical diagnosis. Flourescence microscopy is also
being used in the detection of cancer cells, as well as the study of healthy and
living cells. Flourescence microscopy is used in the field of medical education and
analysis for viewing cell division without interrupting the cells in any
fashion.

Other known applications of fluorescence microscopes include research and
analysis in the advanced biomedical field, microchemistry, immunology, hematology,
biology, oncology, cytology, sedimentary rocks, and detection of impurities in
semiconductors.

Epi-Flourescence Microscopes.com has stocked filters to match the needs of the
various applications of fluorescence microscopy. Epi-Flourescence has a technical
staff on stand by ready to evaluate a customer's microscopy needs and match it to
the appropriate model in stock.
