Darkfield microscopy allows for beautiful, detailed images to be revealed with one opaque disk used to block the light into just a few scattered beams. The background is dark and the sample reflects the light of the beams only. This results in a light colored specimen against a dark background. Darkfield microscopy is perfect for viewing clear or translucent details.
When to Use a Darkfield Microscope:
- Single- celled organisms
- Live Blood Analysis
- Transparent Specimens
- Live Bacteria
- Soil Samples
- Pond water Bacteria
- Seawater Samples
- Pollen Samples
Darkfield microscopy make most invisible specimens appear visible under the microscope, especially living organisms.
