Bright-field microscopy

Bright-field microscopy (BF) is the simplest of all the optical microscopy illumination techniques. Sample illumination is transmitted (i.e., illuminated from below and observed from above) white light, and contrast in the sample is caused by attenuation of the transmitted light in dense areas of the sample. Bright-field microscopy is the simplest of a range of techniques used for illumination of samples in light microscopes, and its simplicity makes it a popular technique. The typical appearance of a bright-field microscopy image is a dark sample on a bright background, hence the name. light microscope The light path of a bright-field microscope is extremely simple, no additional components are required beyond the normal light-microscope setup. The light path therefore consists of: a transillumination light source, commonly a halogen lamp in the microscope stand; a condenser lens, which focuses light from the light source onto the sample; an objective lens, which collects light from the sample and magnifies the image; oculars and/or a camera to view the sample image. Bright-field microscopy may use critical or Köhler illumination to illuminate the sample. Bright-field microscopy typically has low contrast with most biological samples, as few absorb light to a great extent. Staining is often required to increase contrast, which prevents use on live cells in many situations. Bright-field illumination is useful for samples that have an intrinsic color, for example mitochondria found in cells.

Oil immersion

In light microscopy, oil immersion is a technique used to increase the resolving power of a microscope. This is achieved by immersing both the objective lens and the specimen in a transparent oil of high refractive index, thereby increasing the numerical aperture of the objective lens. Without oil, light waves reflect off the slide specimen through the glass cover slip, through the air, and into the microscope lens (see the colored figure to the right).

Microscope optique

Le microscope optique ou microscope photonique est un instrument d'optique muni d'un objectif et d'un oculaire qui permet de grossir l'image d'un objet de petites dimensions (ce qui caractérise sa puissance optique) et de séparer les détails de cette image (et son pouvoir de résolution) afin qu'il soit observable par l'œil humain. Il est utilisé en biologie, pour observer les cellules, les tissus, en pétrographie pour reconnaître les roches, en métallurgie et en métallographie pour examiner la structure d'un métal ou d'un alliage.
