Original Description:
Learn about different microscopes and what scientists study with them! With the use of light and electron microscopes it is possible to study everything from different cells and bacteria to single molecules or even atoms.
The phase contrast microscope is widely used for examining such specimens as biological tissues. It is a type of light microscopy that enhances contrasts of transparent and colorless objects by influencing the optical path of light. The phase contrast microscope is able to show components in a cell or bacteria, which would be very difficult to see in an ordinary light microscope.
