DAPI staining is a fluorescence technique using the dye 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole that binds strongly to A-T-rich regions of DNA. It emits a bright blue fluorescence when excited by UV light, making it ideal for visualizing cell nuclei in fixed samples. Commonly used in microscopy for nuclear counterstaining, cell-cycle analysis, and apoptosis studies.
