Many substances absorb light. However some of them, after absorbing light of a particular wavelength and energy, emit light of a longer wavelength and lesser energy. Such substances are called âfluorescent substancesâ. Application of this phenomenon is the basis of fluorescence microscope.
A fluoroscopic x-ray system from 1907, the doctor watches the fluorescent screen to see moving x-ray images of the patient's chest and abdomen. The principals of fluoroscopy are much the same as with film x-ray (called radiography) described above. However, fluoroscopic imaging yields a moving x-ray picture or movie. The original fluoroscopes consisted of an x-ray system and a fluorescent screen which registered the x-rays and emitted glowing light.
