Bright-field microscopy (BF) is the simplest of all the optical microscopy illumination techniques. Sample illumination is transmitted (i.e., illuminated from below and observed from above) white light , and contrast in the sample is caused by attenuation of the transmitted light in dense areas of the sample.
Axial bright-field detectors are located in the centre of the cone of illumination of the transmitted beam, and are often used to provide complementary images to those obtained by ADF imaging. [12] Annular bright-field detectors, located within the cone of illumination of the transmitted beam, have been used to obtain atomic resolution images ...
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723). The field of microscopy (optical microscopy) dates back to at least the 17th-century.Earlier microscopes, single lens magnifying glasses with limited magnification, date at least as far back as the wide spread use of lenses in eyeglasses in the 13th century [2] but more advanced compound microscopes first appeared in Europe around 1620 [3] [4] The ...
Bright-field microscopy at the top and fluorescence microscopy at the bottom. The red fluorescence is from the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll fluorescence is light re-emitted by chlorophyll molecules during return from excited to non-excited states. It is used as an indicator of photosynthetic energy conversion in plants, algae ...
Critical illumination or Nelsonian illumination is a method of specimen illumination used for transmitted and reflected light (trans- and epi-illuminated) optical microscopy. Critical illumination focuses an image of a light source on to the specimen for bright illumination.
An annular dark-field image taken may be complementary to a bright-field image constructed from the captured CBED images. The use of a hollow detector with a hole in the middle can allow for transmitted electrons to be passed to an EELS detector while scanning.

The same cells imaged with traditional bright-field microscopy (left), and with phase-contrast microscopy (right) Phase-contrast microscopy is particularly important in biology. It reveals many cellular structures that are invisible with a bright-field microscope, as exemplified in the figure.
