After a chemical dye called fluorescein is administered to the patient, a specialized machine called a fluorimeter is used to determine how much blood is flowing through the surgical site.
Fluorescein.
no
Fluorescein is synthesized through a series of chemical reactions starting with phthalic anhydride and resorcinol. These compounds are heated together with sulfuric acid to form fluorescein. The process involves multiple steps and careful control of reaction conditions to ensure the desired product is obtained.

test results should display a normal and unimpeded flow of blood through the vascular system. Fluorescein angiography should result in no leakage of fluorescein dye through the retinal blood vessels.
