Chapter 2.2, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
In 1934, Dutch physicist Frits Zernike was first described the contrast enhancing optical technique called phase-contrast microscopy. It is one of the frequently used biological light microscopy which produces the high contrast images of transparent specimens, such as tissues, living cells, microbes, fibers, glass fragments, lithographic patterns, latex dispersions, and subcellular particles.
