Question

what advantages can fluorescent products have over coloured products?

Answer 1

In this case, the fluorescent products have several advantages over coloured products (also called dyes). In the case of fluorescent product, they allow you to obtain a better resolution of the main structural regions of the cell. Using a common dye, you will obtain a homogenous staining. However, the fluorescent products allow you to be more specific. For example, we can observe only organelles using labelled fluorescent antibodies against a specific portion of the organelle.

We mostly use dyes to observe the morphology of a cell or tissue. While the fluorescent dyes are involved in a more complex study of the cell. Additionally, the fluorescent signal has a fast detection speed under fluorescent microscopes and just a low dosage is required. While dyes, are used in a higher concentration in order to stain the cell.
