iBiology as a Resource for Fluorescence Techniques and More
iBiology.org is a fantastic free resource for educational videos, featuring a wide array of biological themes, principles, research topics, and ideas. Their mission is “to bring the stories of cutting-edge research in the life sciences to a global audience without paywalls or other barriers to learning.” They have a rich offering in fluorescence microscopy, spanning topics from “Introduction to Fluorescence Microscopy” to “Developing GFP as a Biological Marker.” We have compiled this selection of fluorescence-related videos as a resource for the community. If these whet your educational appetite, check out the other topic areas on their site!
