[Fluorescence spectra and imaging of Platymonas subcordiformis via LSCM].

Primary investigation of Platymonas subcordiformis was performed with laser scanning microscopic technology. Both autofluorescence spectra and autofluorescence imaging of Platymonas subcordiformis were achieved by one photon excitation of 488 nm Ar+ laser. Autofluorescence images revealed cup-shaped object inside the Platymonas subcordiformis cell, and the corresponding fluorescence peak located at 682 nm was attributed to chloroplast.
