Phase-Contrast Microscopy

Preferred Label : Phase-Contrast Microscopy;

NCIt synonyms : Microscopy, Phase-Contrast;

NCIt related terms : PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPY;

NCIt definition : A simple non-quantitative form of interference microscopy of great utility in visualising live cells. Small differences in optical path length due to differences in refractive index and thickness of structures are visualised as differences in light intensity.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: A microscopic technique in which the amplitude shift that occurs when light passes through a specimen highlights structures or details within the specimen.;
