ZEISS Axio Imager 2 for Materials Contrast Methods
- Brightfield: This is the standard microscopy technique, where a sample is observed against a bright background. It’s especially useful for stained samples.
- Darkfield: In darkfield microscopy, the specimen appears bright against a dark background. It’s beneficial for observing samples that are not easily visible in brightfield, such as transparent specimens.
- Differential Interference Contrast: DIC uses optical components to visualize gradients in specimen refractive index, rendering them as variations in brightness. It offers a pseudo-3D view of the sample, highlighting its topographical features.
- Polarized Light: By using polarizing filters, this method examines birefringent materials. It’s particularly useful for studying crystalline structures and materials with specific optical properties.
- Fluorescence: This technique uses high-intensity light to excite fluorophores in the sample, which then emit light at a different wavelength. It’s commonly used in biological research, but it’s also beneficial for specific materials research.
- Phase Contrast: This method enhances the contrast of transparent and unstained specimens. It’s mainly used in biology, but it might also have applications in materials science, particularly for transparent materials.
- Reflectance: This method captures images based on light reflected from the specimen surface. It’s mainly used for opaque or reflective materials.
