History of Microscopy
"Emeralds are usually concave so that they may concentrate the visual rays.The Emperor Nero used to watch in an Emerald the gladiatorial combats."
Pliny the Elder 23-79 A.D

The first known compound microscope, made by Zacharias and Hans Janssen in the 1590's.
Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was an amateur Dutch scientist who was granted for his discoveries in microscopy and high quality, but crude optical microscopes.

Green Fluorescent Protein :GFP
GFP is a small protein (27 kD) and the DNA sequences coding for GFP can be manipulated by recombinant DNA technology to create gene fusion

Sierra Blakely, Wikipedia
• The GFP chromophore consists of a cyclic tripeptide derived from Ser-Tyr-Gly at positions 65–67 in the protein and is only fluorescent when embedded within the fully folded, complete GFP molecule.
• EGFP: Ser65 to Thr mutation (UV to blue excitation)
• Nascent GFP is not fluorescent, since chromophore formation occurs post-translationally. The chromophore is formed by a cyclization reaction and an oxidation step at Tyr66 that requires molecular oxygen

YELLOW Fluorescent Protein (YFP)(Thr 203 to Tyr)
Citrine variant is very bright relative to EYFP and has been demonstrated to be much more resistant to photobleaching, acidic pH, and other environmental effects
Another derivative, named Venus, is the fastest maturing and one of the brightest yellow variant
