What are Some Alternatives to Brightfield Microscopy?
Other types of microscopy can complement or provide alternatives to brightfield microscopy, such as:
Phase-contrast microscopy: Enhances contrast in unstained specimens by exploiting differences in refractive index. Fluorescence microscopy: Uses fluorescent dyes to label specific cellular components, providing high contrast and specificity. Confocal microscopy: Provides higher resolution and the ability to create three-dimensional images of specimens. Electron microscopy: Offers much higher resolution, allowing for the visualization of ultrastructural details.
