Biology and life science microscopes
Brightfield light from the specimen and its surroundings is collected to form an image against a bright background (simplest form of microscopy where light is either passed through, or reflected off)
Confocal eliminates out-of-focus light in specimens and enables 3-D imaging of thick specimens (involves serially scanning the specimen to create computer-generated optical sections)
Fluorescence the property of absorbing light of short wavelength and emitting light of longer wavelength (uses high intensity illumination to excite fluorescent molecules in the sample)
Phase contrast Using changes in refractive index to produce high-contrast images of transparent specimens (small changes in optical path length (as light moves through different materials of differing refractive index, e.g. water, cellular components)
Darkfield contrast technique where only light diffracted from the specimen is used to form the image (creates contrast in transparent unstained specimens such as living cells)
Polarizing Exploiting the properties of polarized light to identify and characterize the structure and properties of materials (created by passing light through a polarizing filter)
Nomarski / DIC allows structure in transparent to be visualized by exploiting changes in refractive index (Differential interference contrast microscopy ( DIC) is a phase contrast technique that allows structure in transparent to be visualized by exploiting changes in refractive index)
Micromanipulation manipulation of microscopic specimens using micro-sized equipment such as optical tweezers (to perform delicate manipulation of a specimen under the microscope has led to the development of precision micro tools or micromanipulators)
Time-Lapse capturing images of dynamic events at predetermined regular time intervals (Time intervals between image capture can be pre-set on the camera or through integrated camera and microscope software)
