Fluorochrome Dye
A class of dyes when excited by light of certain wavelengths, emit photons and become fluorescent. Fluorescence gives fluorochromes imaging characteristics and are used to label or stain biological structures.

Glossary Term
A class of dyes when excited by light of certain wavelengths, emit photons and become fluorescent. Fluorescence gives fluorochromes imaging characteristics and are used to label or stain biological structures.
Technology
A process to measure the proximity of two fluorochromes whereby the excitation energy of one fluorochrome is released and absorbed by the second fluorochrome. It is used to study interactions and structure of macromolecules. (NCI)
Technology
A novel karyotyping procedure which is based on the simultaneous hybridization of 24 chromosome-specific painting probes labeled with different fluorochromes or fluorochrome combinations. The measurement of defined emission spectra by means of interferometer-based spectral imaging allows for the definitive discernment of all human chromosomes in different colors.
