The quality of the microscope light directly influences the image quality. Key factors include:
1. Brightness: Sufficient brightness is necessary for clear visualization. However, excessive brightness can cause glare and reduce image quality. 2. Contrast: Proper contrast helps in distinguishing different cellular components. Adjusting the light intensity and using different light filters can enhance contrast. 3. Resolution: The resolution is the ability to distinguish two close points as separate entities. High-quality light sources improve resolution, allowing for detailed observation of tissue structures.
