MCQ on Phase Contrast Microscope and its Applications




A phase-contrast microscope is an optical instrument used in microscopy to enhance the contrast of transparent and translucent specimens, such as living cells, that are difficult to visualize using traditional bright-field microscopy. It accomplishes this by exploiting the differences in phase between light waves passing through different parts of the specimen, producing detailed and high-contrast images. This post is on Phase Contrast Microscopy MCQ with answer key.
