Preferred Label : Quantitative Oblique Back-Illumination Microscopy;
NCIt synonyms : qOBM;
NCIt definition : A visible light microscopy method that provides nanometer resolution in thick specimens.
Light is supplied from the same side of the sample as the detection optics and internal
light scattering produces a virtual light source from the opposite side of the imaging
plane. This epi-illumination is used to produce differential phase contrast to remove
out-of-focus information and permit tomographic sectioning.;
