Basic Microscopy Definitions

  • Brightfield – an image condition where the background is light and the features are dark (high angle of illumination)
  • Darkfield – an image condition where the background is dark and the features are bright (low angle of illumination)
  • Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) – provides enhanced specimen features rendering height differences more visible as variations in color. DIC uses a Normarski prism along with a polarizer in the 90° crossed positions
  • Polarized Light – Using polarizing filters anisotropic materials such as aluminum and titanium provides additional information about their crystal structure
  • Oblique Illlumination – an image condition that provides a 3-dimensional relativel low magnification view of the specimen surface (low angle of illumination)
  • Depth of Field – the distance or depth at which the specimen surface will be in focus
  • Empty Magnification – the magnification limit where no additional information is obtained; increasing magnification beyond this limit only magnifies existing features
  • Numerical Aperture (N.A.) – measure of objective lens light-gathering ability (also determines the quality of the lens)
  • Resolution – the distance at which two individual features can be seen as individual objects
  • Working Distance – the distance between the objective lens and the specimen surface when the image is in focus
