As such, the image is not only dependent on the number of electrons hitting the screen, making direct interpretation of phase contrast images more complex.

The Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Dutch physicist Frits Zernike in 1953 for his development of phase contrast illumination which allows imaging of transparent samples.
43.
In addition to this, various forms of microscopy including bright-field microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, interference contrast microscopy, and phase contrast microscopy have been used to observe the pathogen.
44.
By then he realised that the conventionally used phase contrast microscope was not suitable for fine structures of muscle fibres, and thus developed his own interference microscope.
45.
Phase contrast takes advantage of the fact that different structures have different refractive indices, and so bend light and delay its passage through the sample by different amounts.
46.
More sophisticated techniques will show proportional differences in optical density . "'Phase contrast "'is a widely used technique that shows differences in refractive index as difference in contrast.
47.
The transmitted signal is collected by an objective Zernike phase contrast at 2600 eV ) is planned, as well as the development of correlated fluorescence visible light microscopy.
48.
Monika Ritsch-Marte and her colleague Stefan Bernet hold several patents ( e . g . spiral-phase contrast microscopy or a diffractive Moir?lense with tunable refraction index ).
49.
As a programmable Fourier filters SLMs allow rapid switching between different microscopy modalities ( bright field, dark field, phase contrast ) without the need for changing any hardware components.
50.
Traditional phase contrast or bright field images of living unstained biological cells, Figure 3 ( right ), have proved themselves to be very difficult to analyze with image analysis software.
