Fluorometer

A fluorometer is a tool that helps us see tiny particles called fluorophores. Fluorophores are like little crystals that glow when they get excited by light.

Think of it like playing with glow sticks. When you snap a glow stick, it creates energy that makes the stick glow in the dark. Fluorophores work the same way. When they're exposed to light, they get excited and start to shine brightly.

The fluorometer helps us measure how bright the fluorophores are shining. This can tell us things like how many of them are present, how strong they are, and what kind of material they are in.

Scientists use fluorometers in all kinds of ways. They can use them to study DNA or track the spread of diseases. Fluorometers are like superpowered flashlight that lets us see things we couldn't see otherwise!
