• Differential interference contrast microscopy — Micrasterias furcata imaged in transmitted DIC microscopy. Differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC), also known as Nomarski Interference Contrast (NIC) or Nomarski microscopy, is an optical microscopy illumination technique used to… …   Wikipedia

• Fluorescence interference contrast microscopy — Fluorescence interference contrast (FLIC) microscopy is a microscopic technique developed to achieve z resolution on the nanometer scale. FLIC occurs whenever fluorescent objects are in the vicinity of a reflecting surface (e.g. Si wafer). The… …   Wikipedia

• phase contrast microscopy — A simple non quantitative form of interference microscopy of great utility in visualizing live cells. Small differences in optical path length due to differences in refractive index and thickness of structures are visualized as differences in… …   Dictionary of molecular biology

• Microscopy — The examination of minute objects by means of a microscope, an instrument which provides an enlarged image of an object not visible with the naked eye. Aside from the usual microscopy, there are various special types of microscopy including, for… …   Medical dictionary

• differential interference contrast — Method of image formation in the light microscope based on the method proposed by Nomarski (though strictly speaking all forms of optical microscopy rely to a greater or lesser extent on differential interference). The light beam is split by a… …   Dictionary of molecular biology

• Nanovid microscopy — Nanovid microscopy, from “nanometer video enhanced microscopy”, is a microscopic technique aimed at visualizing colloidal gold particles of 20 40 nm diameter (nanogold, immunogold) as dynamic markers at the light microscopic level. The nanogold… …   Wikipedia

• interference microscopy — Although all image formation depends on interference, the term is generally restricted to systems in which contrast comes from the recombination of a reference beam with light that has been retarded by passing through the object. Because the… …   Dictionary of molecular biology
