/ ˈflʊərəʊˌfɔː /

noun

1. a chemical group responsible for fluorescence

Example Sentences

If the ssDNA is cut up, the fluorophore and quencher move further apart.

From Science Daily

They also identified two red fluorescent proteins that switch at different rates, and engineered one additional red fluorophore.

From Science Daily

The mathematical technique that the researchers used to analyze the fluorophore signals is known as linear unmixing.

From Science Daily

After imaging the cell for several minutes, hours, or even days, the researchers use a computational algorithm to pick out the specific signal from each fluorophore, analogous to how the human ear can pick out different frequencies of sound.

From Science Daily

This method can extract different fluorophore signals, similar to how the human ear uses a mathematical model known as a Fourier transform to extract different pitches from a piece of music.
