Abstract
FLUORESCENCE microspectrography has hitherto chiefly been utilized for the localization of porphyrins in thin sections of tissue, especially of pathological deposits of porphyrins in the tissues. The characteristic fluorescence spectra of the porphyrins and the comparatively great concentration of porphyrins have facilitated the use of the method under such conditions. On the other hand, difficulties have been encountered in identifying other fluorescent substances in histological sections by fluorescence microspectrography.
