FRET Overview

FRET, or Forster Resonance Energy Transfer, is a phenomenon where closely matched pairs of fluorophores are used to determine spatial proximity in molecular and protein-protein interactions. Three criteria must be met for efficient FRET to occur between the donor and acceptor chromophores:

Image Enhancement, Color Separation, Color Correction

Color imaging systems benefit from the use of precision optical filters which control the spectral properties of light and color separation to exacting tolerances. In addition, system performance improves with the elimination of wavelengths outside the visible spectrum.
