Phase contrast microscopy at 40X magnification
- Consisting of: a 40x Ph-objectives, condenser with matching phase contrast ring and adjustable 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
