Chapter 3.2, Problem 7CYP
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The comparison of bright-field, dark-field, phase contrast, confocal, and fluorescence microscopy according to field appearance, specimen appearance, light source and uses.
Introduction:
Optical microscopes use light source that consists of a band of colored wavelengths in the visible spectrum. Bright-field, dark-field, phase contrast, confocal, and fluorescence microscopy are different types of optical microscopy.
