Autofluorescence of aldehyde-fixed neural tissue often complicates the use of fluorescence microscopy. Background fluorescence can be notably reduced or eliminated by irradiation with light before treatment with fluorescence probes, resulting in a higher contrast without adversely affecting the staining probabilities. (J Histochem Cytochem 50:437439, 2002)
Key Words:
autofluorescence, photobleaching, immunofluorescence
