Abstract
SUMMARY: Cathodoluminescence observations on biological compounds are compared with previously established data from ultra violet and visible light excitation studies. The comparison demonstrates that the same molecules are responsible for the luminescence properties of macromolecules independent of the type of exciting radiation. Natural cathodoluminescence was also observed from cells. Moreover, advantages gained by the absorption of strongly cathodoluminiscent dyes into cells are demonstrated.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
