Instrument: Microscope-Fluorescence
Instruments that generate enlarged images of samples using the phenomena of fluorescence and phosphorescence instead of, or in addition to, reflection and absorption of visible light. Includes conventional and inverted instruments.
Samples for bacterioplankton abundance were analyzed by epifluorescence microscopy with 0, 6-diamidino -2-phenyl dihydrochloride (5µg mL-1, DAPI, SIGMA-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) according to Porter and Feig 1980.
