Question

Which type of microscopy is able to produces three-dimensional images and performs optical sectioning?
(A) Brightfield
(B) Interference contrast
(C) Phase-contrast
(D) Polarizing

• A. Brightfield
• B. Interference contrast
• C. Phase-contrast
• D. Polarizing

Hint:

Interference contrast microscopy is especially useful for examining live, unstained cells to highlight their structural details.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Interference contrast microscopy, such as Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), is capable of producing three-dimensional images and performing optical sectioning. This technique enhances contrast in transparent specimens and provides a pseudo-3D appearance by exploiting differences in the optical path length.
