Fluorescence microscopes use fluorophores instead of bending light like other microscopes.
Illuminate specimen with light of high wavelength
The light is absorbed by fluorophores
The fluorophores release light of longer wavelength, which is clearly seen
Advantages:
Can be used on living cells
High sensitivity and specificity
High resolution and can be used to view sub-cellular structures
Simple to use
