Two-photon excitation fluorescence microspectroscopy protocols for examining fluorophores in fossil plants

Abstract Fluorescence emission is common in plants. While fluorescence microscopy has been widely used to study living plants, its application in quantifying the fluorescence of fossil plants has been limited. Fossil plant fluorescence, from original fluorophores or formed during fossilization, can...
