Phase Contrast Microscopes
The use of phase contrast microscopes is widely examined for specimens such as biological tissues. It allows normally clear transparent blood cells to appear with increased contrast. In live blood cell analysis, phase contrast microscopy is the best used to understand and view the effects of improper excellent viewing of general contour of the blood cells in a manner not possible with other techniques. To use phase contrast the light path must be aligned. An element in the condenser is aligned with an element in a specialized phase contrast lens.
