Name 6 types of microscope
Brightfield Darkfield Flourscent Phase contrast Polarized Electron
Microscope use daylight or light bulb with compound lens system
Brightfield
Microscope uses Special condenser makes background appear dark condenser cause light waves pass specimen instead of through it
Darkfield
Microscope uv light source and special filter for shorter wave lengths
Fluorescent
Microscope special diaphragm into or below condenser to view u stained structures
Phase contrast
Microscope-use special filter takes ordinary light waves and allows only light waves to pass through and reach specimen illuminate objects that can rotate light N to S
Polarized
Microscope- substitution of electron beams for light rays to achieve the resolution
Electron
