| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dark-Field Microscopy | -Enables microbes to be visualized as halos of bright light against darkness. |
| Phase-Contrast Microscopy | -Exploits differences in the refractive index between the cytoplasm and surrounding medium or organelles. |
| Fluorescence Microscopy | -Using fluorophore labeled antibodies to detect cells. -Certain fluorophores specifically bind to DNA |
| Confocal Microscopy | -Images in high resolution, light is focused, and can visualize cells in three-dimensions if images are stacked. |
| Transmission Electron Microscopy | -Electrons pass through the specimen and reveal internal structures. |
| Cyro-Electron Microscopy | -Specimen is frozen and tomography is used to generate high-resolution models of virus particles. |
| Atomic Force Microscopy | -Measures the van der Waals forces between electron shells of adjacent atoms of the cell surface and the sharp tip. |
| Scanning Electron Microscopy | -Electrons scan the specimen surface and reveals external features in 3D |
| Bright-Field Microscopy | -Generates a dark image of an object over a light background-block passage of light. |
