More Fluorophors
It should be emphasized that the Dark Reader can also be effectively used to detect dyes that have maxima outside the above ranges. The only criterion is that at least a portion of the fluorescence excitation and emission fall within these ranges. Stated another way, the Dark Reader can be used to detect almost any dye excited in the visible range that does emit exclusively in the blue.
The table on the right lists a few commonly used dyes and their viewability using the Dark Reader. It should be noted that the listed qualifications are relative to an optimal excitation source and emission detector, such as a tunable fluorometer - not a transilluminator that can only provide excitation in the UV.
