What color depicts the labeled protein in Moerner's bacterial cell image?

  • Green

  • Orange-red

  • Blue

  • Yellow

Answer

Orange-red is the color used to label the protein in the image. Moerner developed this technique to visualize the protein by tagging it with a fluorescent molecule that emits orange-red light when illuminated with specific wavelengths of light. This allows the protein to be seen and studied in great detail.
