Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

8.0K
Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

7.0K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Condensed Matter Physics
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Characterizing inverted structures like crystallographic, ferroelectric, or magnetic domains is essential for developing multi-state devices.
