Swartz• Department of Anatomy, Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, IN 46202 (Received for publication October 10, 1995 and in revised form August 16, 1996) Abstract Introduction The labeling of proteins with fluorescent compounds Covalent labeling of ligands for imaging applications for microscopy has allowed a greater understanding of is essentially an extension of classical histochemical biological processes. The preparation of fluorescent staining methods in that it is a method which enhances proteins is the first step in development of their use in the contrast of the specimen. The important exception is microscopy.
