| fluorescence |
Fluorescence is a luminescence, i.e. optical phenomenon in cold bodies, in which a molecule absorbs a high-energy photon, and re-emits it as a lower-energy (longer-wavelength) photon. The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons ends up as molecular vibrations (heat). Usually the absorbed photon is in the ultraviolet, and the emitted light (luminescence) is in the visible range, but this depends on the absorbance curve and Stokes shift of the particular fluorophore. ...

| fluorescence |
The emission of radiation associated with the relaxation of an atom or molecule from an excited energy level to a lower (usually ground state) level. The emission can be in the visible or ultraviolet if an electronic transition is involved, or in the infrared if it is a vibrational transition. See also resonance fluorescence, laser-induced fluorescence, luminescence.

| fluorescence in situ hybridization |
(FISH). A technique in which a fluorescently labelled DNA probe is used to hybridize with and therefore detect a particular chromosome or gene with the help of fluorescence microscopy.
