And now they're making Glow rabbits and Glow all sorts of things.

Radioactive yellow.

That's better than a glowing chicken.

Analyse X ray Fluorescence data

You take a glow gene out of a coral or a jellyfish and you stick it in a zebrafish, and, puff, they glow.

A lot of them can release their luciferin or luferase in the water just the way a squid or an octopus will release an ink cloud.

That's how people make GloFish.

ARS researchers also developed fluorescence techniques and a prototype fluorescent instrument to discriminate and quantify crop residues.

And I looked down at the chattering heads on my channel of choice.

That's a fluorescent tube refined.

Tom's eyes were glued to the screen.

I guess we could make a glow chicken.

You can see, actually that's a fluoroscopy.

They're clicking on things and staring at screens.

And you're also going to notice a visual on the screen.

And this is what I think is the magic of fluorescence.

The light that the fluorescence emits can go through tissue.

But to me, what's shocking is not just the amount of light, but the fact that it's not just luciferin and luciferase.

You can feel her energy through the screen.

Nobody knows what to do with these kinds of creatures.

Now movies proved to be the ultimate medium for magic.

65 million compact fluorescent light bulbs were sold last year.

And now, boom, the tumor labels itself and it gets fluorescent.

But here it is. It's fluorescent.

So that's the beauty of having a tumor that's labeled with fluorescent molecules.

This is going to be a glowing source first, which is like bioluminescent bacteria.

The bioluminescence they use the lights for attracting mates and attracting prey and communicating.

And of course, we had the metal halide lamps and fluorescent lamps and things like that.

And in fact, right now in many states, you can go out and you can buy bioluminescent pets.

And the cool thing about fluorescence is that it's not only bright, it actually can shine through tissue.

This bacterium has the special property that it makes light, so it makes bioluminescence, like fireflies make light.

(g) Fluorescence assessment of the effect of radiation on the fluorescent properties of yeast cells in space and study of the possibility of using yeast cells as biological sensors to detect DNA deterioration caused by radiation.

So I said, wouldn't it be great if we could find a way to see nerves with fluorescence?

He ground it up and he managed to get out a couple of chemicals one, the enzyme, he called luciferase the substrate, he called luciferin after Lucifer the Lightbearer.

This is not a box these are the renderings of my imagination from head to paper to screen to life.

It used to be a weight room, so there were rubber floors below, acoustic tile ceilings and fluorescent lights.

These are normal mammalian cells genetically engineered with a bioluminescent gene taken out of deep sea jellyfish.

Maude Findlay, the epitome of the irreverent 1970s, who tackled abortion, divorce, even menopause on TV.

And this is an emerging set of technologies that use large screen displays with intelligent calculation in the background to make the invisible visible.

And when we made a solution of this, tagged with the fluorescence and injected in the body of a mouse, their nerves literally glowed.

We take that tissue, we purify the RNA out of it using some basic technology, and then we put a florescent tag on it.

The one thing we need to do is we have to replace these inefficient incandescent light bulbs, florescent lights, with this new technology of LED, LED light bulbs.

What needs to happen now is further development of our technology along with development of the instrumentation that allows us to see this sort of fluorescence in the operating room.

That you can, not only see the margins right there on a molecular level, but you can see it even if it's not right on the top even if it's beyond your field of view.
