A phase microscope is also a contrast microscope. It empasizes slight differences in a specimen's capacity to bend light waves,enhancing light and darker regions without the use of stains.
Actual magnification of light microscopes could reach up 1000x magnification depending on the type of light microscope. Light microscopes could be divided into brightfield microscope and phase-contrast microscope for viewing stained specimen and unstained specimen respectively. Magnification of electron microscope on the other hand could go up to 1000000x. The actual magnification as well depends on types of electron microscope which includes transmission-electron microscope and scanning-electron microscope where both of them are used in viewing internal cell structures and cell surface structures respectively.
1.diffrent typeof diaphraghms 2.a phase plate 3.living sample can be viewed 4.natural processes ccan be viewed without staining 5.enhances clarity 6.can be of two types :positive and negative positive:background much brighter than specimen negative:background is darker
Electron Microscope
Electron Microscope.
The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses electrons to enlarge and illuminate an image of a specimen.

Fritts Zernike invented the phase contrast microscope in 1932. He received a Nobel Prize for it in 1953.
The microscope that takes advantage of differences in the refractive indexes of cell structure is the phase contrast microscope. The microscope that is used to see internal structure of cells in a natural state is also a phase contrast microscope.
Stereomicroscope, Compound Microscope, Phase-contrast microscope, electron microscope, Scanning-electron microscope, Transmission electron microscope, Confocal-scanning microscope. THESE ARE JUST SOME. :)
There are six different types of microscopes used in the life science. There is the light microscope, phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope, atomic force microscope, and scanning tunnelling microscope.

A phase-contrast microscope (or phase-difference microscope or phase microscope) allows better viewing of clear specimens that usually need to be stained before you can make out the various parts. Staining is a time consuming process and kills the cells being viewed. With a phase-contrast microscope, living cells can be studied as they go through the cell division cycle.HOW IT WORKSAs light goes through a transparent specimen, there may not be anything interesting to see. However, the light undergoes phase changes as it passes through the different parts of the specimen. Unfortunately, the human eye does not notice phase changes. A phase-contrast microscope converts these unnoticed phase changes into differences in brightness, which the human eye sees very well. The darker and lighter parts of the specimen make it very visible.This also works on reflected light microscopes.
The microscope that is used to see internal structures of cells in a natural state is the compound light microscope. The microscope has a lens and light that allows it to see the internal structures of a cell clearly.
