fluorescein
Glowing diagnostic compound
Fluorescein is a synthetic dye that glows bright yellowish-green under ultraviolet light.
It's widely used in medical diagnostics—ophthalmologists apply it to detect corneal abrasions and retinal problems, and it traces fluid flow in angiography.
Search-and-rescue teams use it to mark water for aerial spotting.
The fluorescein dye revealed a scratch on her cornea.
