Over a year ago, a new camera stunned the world with its ability to snap 10 trillion frames per second. That speed made it possible to watch light move in slow motion. But for all its speed, the ...

Introducing a phase shift between diffracted and undiffracted light from a sample is one of the oldest techniques for generating phase contrast in optical microscopy. A similar approach should ...

All the latest science news on phase contrast microscopy from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Explore how 4D digital holographic microscopy enables fast, full-field, and non-contact characterization of MEMS micromirrors ...

Imaging techniques are increasingly at the forefront of progress in science and technology. The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is among the leaders in this development. Imaging techniques turn ...

Oftentimes, phase condensers include a darkfield stop; make sure your's doesn't. Since you have phase microscopes, that's about as good as darkfield for what you want.

Phase contrast microscopy (PCM) is a technique that visualizes changes of optical phase caused by variations of the sample’s optical path length. This enables imaging of transparent samples that ...

The High Seas Treaty, which would allow nations to create marine protected areas in international waters, is now expected to ...

That old method is known as phase-contrast microscopy. Created by Dutch physicist Frits Zernike, it relies on the way light changes speed. When light passes through something like glass, ...
