fluorescent dye
Light-emitting colorant
A fluorescent dye is a substance that absorbs light at one wavelength and emits it at another, typically producing vivid, glowing colors.
These dyes are used in biological research to label cells and molecules, in safety equipment for high visibility, and in document security features.
The fluorescent dye made the tumor cells visible under UV light.
