The Polarization Microscopy Principle
Polarization microscopy is routinely used in the material and earth sciences to identify materials and minerals on the basis of their characteristic refractive properties and colors. In biology,…
Epi-Illumination Fluorescence and Reflection-Contrast Microscopy
This article discusses the development of epi-illumination and reflection contrast for fluorescence microscopy concerning life-science applications. Much was done by the Ploem research group…
Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) Microscopy
This article demonstrates how differential interference contrast (DIC) can be actually better than brightfield illumination when using microscopy to image unstained biological specimens.
Phase Contrast and Microscopy
This article explains phase contrast, an optical microscopy technique, which reveals fine details of unstained, transparent specimens that are difficult to see with common brightfield illumination.
Immersion Objectives
How an immersion objective, which has a liquid medium between it and the specimen being observed, helps increase the numerical aperture and microscope resolution is explained in this article.
Hydraulics in the Automotive and Aerospace Industries
Cleanliness standards relating to lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and oils, e.g., ISO 4406 and DIN 51455 are discussed in this article. Cleanliness plays a central role in the automotive and…
Studying Pulmonary Fibrosis
The results shown in this article demonstrate that fibrotic and non-fibrotic regions of collagen present in mouse lung tissue can be distinguished better with polarized light compared to brightfield.…
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Research Microscope
An optical microscope is often one of the central devices in a life-science research lab. It can be used for various applications which shed light on many scientific questions. Thereby the…

顕微鏡の基本的な技術
顕微鏡の基本的な技術は、顕微鏡ステージ上の試料全体が光源にさらされる形で使用されます。試料全体は、上方（倒立型）または下方（標準的な正立顕微鏡の場合）から白色光で照らされます。試料の透明度や観察対象・観察部位に応じて、複雑な細胞構造を識別するために異なる蛍光粒子を使用します。
微分干渉（DIC）顕微鏡
微分干渉（DIC）顕微鏡は、光源と集光レンズの間に偏光フィルターとウォラストンプリズムを配置した広視野顕微鏡で、対物レンズとカメラセンサーや接眼レンズの間にも偏光フィルターとウォラストンプリズムを配置しています。
暗視野顕微鏡
暗視野コントラスト法は、生体試料の構造や物質試料の不均一な特徴から生じる光の回折や散乱を利用する方法です。
