  2. Bright-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright-field_microscopy

    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.

  3. Köhler illumination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köhler_illumination

    Köhler illumination is a method of specimen illumination used for transmitted and reflected light (trans- and epi-illuminated) optical microscopy.Köhler illumination acts to generate an even illumination of the sample and ensures that an image of the illumination source (for example a halogen lamp filament) is not visible in the resulting image.

  4. Interference colour chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_colour_chart

    Michel-Lévy interference colour chart issued by Zeiss Microscopy. In optical mineralogy, an interference colour chart, also known as the Michel-Levy chart, is a tool first developed by Auguste Michel-Lévy to identify minerals in thin section using a petrographic microscope.

  5. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century.

  6. Scanning transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission...

    A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a type of transmission electron microscope (TEM). Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. As with a conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM), images are formed by electrons passing through a sufficiently thin specimen.

  7. Negative stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_stain

    For bright-field microscopy, negative staining is typically performed using a black ink fluid such as nigrosin and India ink.The specimen, such as a wet bacterial culture spread on a glass slide, is mixed with the negative stain and allowed to dry.

  8. Low-energy electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-energy_electron_microscopy

    A particular application of bright field spectroscopy is the counting of the exact number of layers in layered materials such as (few layer) graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and some transition metal dichalcogenides. [4] [5] [6] Photoexcitation electron microscopy (PEEM) of Ag rods on Si.

  9. Dispersion staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_staining

    The dispersion staining is an analytical technique used in light microscopy that takes advantage of the differences in the dispersion curve of the refractive index of an unknown material relative to a standard material with a known dispersion curve to identify or characterize that unknown material. These differences become manifest as a color ...
