👉 Fluorescence is a phenomenon in which light energy is converted into an electric current. It's a type of biological process that occurs when certain molecules (like proteins) are exposed to light. When these molecules absorb light, they emit electrons and, as a result, release energy in the form of photons. These photons can then be detected by other cells or organisms through specialized receptors within them. Fluorescent proteins are very common in living systems, including bacteria, viruses, and some plants.
