Fluorescence light microscope IVD (An in vitro diagnostic magnification instrument in which light (typically ultraviolet) that has been absorbed by the specimen and re-emitted at a longer wavelength is observed (as visible light) so that the specimen is visible through the eyepiece. This device is typically used in the laboratory for histopathology and microbiology, commonly in conjunction with fluorescent dyes. Appropriate filters are used to select the correct wavelength of incoming beam to excite the fluorescent compound and eliminate the unwanted incident wavelength from the fluorescent light source (i.e., the specimen).)
