Which type of microscopy is used for colorless specimens?
Transmission electron microscopy
What is the definition of the term fluorescence microscopy?
The term "fluorescence microscopy" is a type of light microscopy in which the specimen is irradiated at wavelengths that excite fluorochromes. In medicine, it is used to detect antigens.
An advantage of fluorescence microscopy over staining techniques is that?
fluorescence microscopy can be used wit any light microscope
What is the status of cells used in light microscopy?
Living!
What is darkfield microscopy used for?
To view unstained cells.
What is the medical term meaning viewing things with the microscope?
Microscopy is the term meaning viewing things with a microscope. Microscopy can be used in hematology, urinalysis, and pathology, among others.
Introduction in basic techniques in microscopy?
Introduction to basic techniques in microscopy involves light microscopy, laser scanning, types of dyes, the cell, electron microscopy, differential interface microscopy, histological stains and histochemical stains.
Can bromthymol blue be used as a stain for a cheek cell in compound microscopy?
Yes
What disciplines is Confoval Laser Scanning Microscopy used in?
Confocal laser scanning microscopy allows for the viewing of high resolution, magnified images with the option of adding depth. It is typically used in biological sciences, such as microbiology and genetics.
What is the differences between light reflection and light transmission microscopy?
Transmission microscopy and reflection microscopy refer to type of illumination used to view the object of interest in the microscope. Reflected light microscopy, also called episcopic illumination or just epi-illumination, uses top-down lighting to illuminate the specimen and the light is reflected back from the specimen to the viewer. This type of illumination is most often used with opaque specimens like metallurgical samples. Transmitted light microscopy, also called diascopic illumination, uses bottom-up illumination where the light is transmitted through the specimen to the viewer. This type of illumination is most often used with translucent specimens like biological cells.

What is Dark field microscopy?
Dark field microscopy (dark ground microscopy) describes microscopy methods, in both light and electron microscopy, which exclude the unscattered beam from the image. As a result, the field around the specimen (i.e. where there is no specimen to scatter the beam) is generally dark.
Does light microscopy offer better magnification than electron microscopy?
No
