Identifying substandard microscopy involves careful observation of the microscope's performance and the quality of the obtained images. Signs of substandard microscopy include:
Blurry Images: Images that lack sharpness and detail can indicate issues with focus or lens quality. Poor Contrast: Inadequate contrast makes it difficult to distinguish between different structures in the tissue sample. Inconsistent Illumination: Uneven lighting can cause parts of the image to be overexposed or underexposed. Artifacts: Unwanted features in the image, such as dust, scratches, or air bubbles, can obscure important details.
