Light microscopy is the oldest form of microscopy and is based on visible light and lenses. Light microscopes can make use of the absorption or interference of light with a specimen in order to create an image. Fluorescent probes play a major role in the field of light microscopy. These so-called fluorophores enable us to study processes in living cells that cannot be visualized using other methods.
