Abstract

Although the microscopic world has been revealed for centuries, it is not until the last century that some incredibly effective tools were invented, greatly facilitating the progress of its exploration. The discovery of Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP), an unusual protein extracted from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria with strong visible absorbance and fluorescence, stands out as a significant milestone that enables scientists to fully enter the field of live cell imaging. This paper will discuss the discovery and development of GFP and its marvelous potential in live cell fluorescence imaging, which is explained by the following discussions about some of the most influential techniques involved in fluorescence microscopy.
