Which is a false statement about light microscopy?
A) a dark-field microscope produces bright images against a dark background
B) a phase contrast microscope gives 3 dimensional images
C) fluorescent antibody staining can not determine whether a foreign substance such as a microbe is present in a specimen
D) a Nomarski microscope produces much higher resolution than the standard phase-contrasting microscope

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fluorescent antibody staining is a technique used to detect the presence of specific particles or cells, such as microbes, in a specimen. It involves the use of fluorescent dyes or antibodies that bind specifically to the target. The dye or antibody emits light when excited by a specific wavelength of light, indicating the presence of the target in the specimen. Therefore, this statement is false.
