What's New in the Tech Library?
- Optical Microscopy Application: Brightfield Illumination - Brightfield illumination yields dark objects on a bright background. The simplicity of this technique is the main reason why it is so popular in optical microscopy.
- Optical Microscopy Application: Darkfield Illumination - Darkfield Illumination is useful for unstained specimens or images that require increased contrast. Read all about it in this application note.
- Optical Microscopy Application: Phase Contrast - Phase contrast enhances the contrast of transparent specimens, yielding high-contrast images of living cells, microorganisms, and other samples. Learn how to analyze and record the dynamics of intricate biological processes.
- Optical Microscopy Application: Fluorescence - Fluorescence microscopes use excitation energy to illuminate a sample which then emits a quantifiable wavelength energy. Fluorescent proteins in the sample cause the unique emission colors.
- Optical Microscopy Application: Differential Interference Contrast - Polarization techniques in optical microscopy such as differential interference contrast are invaluable in the identification of unknown samples that exhibit birefringence.
