Phase-contrast microscopy can be used with live cells as it does not require staining or fixing of the cells. It allows for observation of living cells in real time and can provide information on cell morphology, movement, and behavior. Transmission electron microscopy, bright-field microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy all require samples to be fixed and stained, which would kill the live cells.
