Phase-contrast microscopy enhances and amplifies slight changes in the phase of transmitted light by converting phase differences into amplitude differences, making it possible to visualize transparent or unstained specimens. Differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC) is another technique that enhances phase differences, but it does so by using two slightly offset beams of light to create a three-dimensional effect.
