Hi Allesandro,

Commercial pre-stained plant tissues look nice and are usually quite fluorescent.
Also, pollen grains are autofluorescent and look cool in 3D.

Dear all,
    here it is, a silly question. I wish to demonstrate the capabilities of
our new system that can read-out fluorescence lifetime, anisotropy and
spectra wih TPE. I have plenty of information-rich images, either images
from tissue or fluorescent proteins, but I would like to prepare an
eye-catching set of images.

I am a bit bored to use Convallaria... any suggestion for a fluorescent or
autofluorescent sample tha could provide a relative complex emission that
could look good?

Cheers,

Alessandro
