Which type of microscope shows cells against a bright background but also differentiates intracellular structures of unstained cells based on their varying densities?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phase contrast microscopy enhances the contrast between different parts of the cell based on the refractive index, which correlates with density. This allows for visualization of intracellular structures without the need for staining, and also provides a bright background for cell visualization.
