Abstract
Microscopic observations of weak fluorescence from living cells can be achieved by using image intensification techniques in situations where conventional film recording is not feasible. A brief description is given of experimental arrangements that were used, involving recording the intensifier output alternately on film, or television vidicons. References are given to more detailed descriptions of particular systems, and an example is presented of the detection of Ca2+ in Haemanthus by means of the fluorescence of chlorotetracycline.
