Phase contrast microscopy at 20X magnification
- Phase contrast device consisting of: a 20X Ph-objectives, condenser with matching phase contrast ring and adjustment telescope.
- The Phase contrast device is used to microscope specimens with low contrast. Suitable for: Very thin biological specimens, low-contrast specimens, non-stained specimens, living objects.
Advantages of phase contrast
- Samples with low contrast in brightfield or almost transparent samples can be observed very well with phase contrast
- Elevations on objects are easier to see than in bright-field
- Flat surface structures are easily recognizable in contrast to dark-field
