Concept #1: Light Microscopes that Increase Contrast

Concept #2: Light Microscopes that Increase Contrast

Practice: What type of microscopy uses a special condenser that only allows light scattered by the specimen to reach the objective lens and causes the specimen to appear bright?

Concept #3: Light Microscopes that Increase Contrast

Concept #4: Light Microscopes that Increase Contrast

Practice: This form of microscope is able to refract light off of the dense structures of a cell making them appear brighter than the gray background.

Practice: The microscope that increases contrast and allows the specimen to appear three-dimensional is the...

Practice: Which of the following microscope types would be least useful in viewing unstained living cells?

Practice: Which type of microscopes use light that hits the specimen indirectly, producing a darker image of the specimen on a brighter background?
