Re: Difference between ICC and IF

... by fluorescence microscopy, always involving excitation of fluoresence with a defined wavelength band of light and detection of the longer-wave emission from the fluorochrome. Generally for epifluorescence microscopy, light from a UV-vis light source is passed through an excitation filter and ...
