3. fluorescein
   Fluorophore commonly used in microscopy. Fluorescein di-acetate can be used as a vital stain, or can be conjugated to proteins (particularly antibodies) using isothiocyanate. Excitation is at 365nm, and the emitted light is green-yellow (450-490nm). The emission spectrum is pH-sensitive and fluorescein can therefore be used to measure pH in intracellular compartments.
