Rhodamine is a family of related chemical compounds, fluorone dyes. Examples are Rhodamine 6G and Rhodamine B. They are used as a dye and as a dye laser gain medium. They are often used as a tracer dye within water to determine the rate and direction of flow, transport and pathway detection. Rhodamine dyes fluoresce and can thus be detected easily and inexpensively with instruments called fluorometers. Liquid dyes can used to qualitatively calibrate the fluorometers. Rhodamine dyes are used
