The Fischer projection, devised by Emil Fischer in 1891, is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional organic molecule by projection. Fischer projections were originally proposed for the depiction of carbohydrates and used by chemists, particularly in organic chemistry and biochemistry. The use of Fischer projections in non-carbohydrates is discouraged, as such drawings are ambiguous when confused with other types of drawing.

Answer:
A Fischer projection or Fischer projection formula is a convention used to depict a stereoformula in two dimension without destroying the stereochemical information, i.e., absolute configuration, at chiral centers. eg: (R)-Lactic acid.
