3.3 Other types of microscopy Microbiology
Dark-Field Microscopy Samples are illuminated so that they appear brighter. Uses a condenser that scatters light.
Phase-contrast Microscopy Enhances contrast by splitting light.
Interference microscopy Variation of Phase-Contrast Uses a prism to split light.
Fluorescence Microscopy Specimens are chemically manipulated.
Confocal Microscopy Spatial Filtering Techniques. Eliminates out- of-focus light.
Electron Microscopy Uses magnetic coils to direct a beam of electrons from a tungsten filament.
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Produces a 3- dimensional looking image of the surface of specimen.
Transmission Electron Microscope Cross-section view of a specimen
Scanned-Probe Microscopy Produces 3-D image
X-Ray Diffraction Structural Characteristics of Crystals Bragg’s Law Rosalind Franklin-DNA
