Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fluorescence microscopy uses a different wavelength of light to illuminate a specimen, resulting in better resolution. This is because fluorescent molecules absorb light at one wavelength and emit it at a longer wavelength, which reduces background fluorescence and improves clarity. However, fluorescence microscopy does not necessarily result in more magnification or less refraction, and it can introduce distortion or halos around the objects if not properly controlled.
