| resorcinol phthalic anhydride | <chemical> Fluorophore commonly used in microscopy. Fluorescein di acetate can be used as a vital stain or can be conjugated to proteins (particularly antibodies) using isothiocyanate. Excitation is at 365nm and the emitted light is green yellow (450-490nm). The emission spectrum is pH sensitive and fluorescein can therefore be used to measure pH in intracellular compartments.
