Microscopy Techniques
Microscopy techniques are methods used to magnify and visualize small objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye. These techniques include light microscopy, which uses visible light to illuminate samples, and electron microscopy, which employs beams of electrons for higher resolution images. Each technique has its own applications, such as studying cells, tissues, and materials.
Another important microscopy technique is fluorescence microscopy, which uses fluorescent dyes to highlight specific structures within a sample. This allows researchers to observe dynamic processes in living cells. Additionally, confocal microscopy provides detailed images by using a laser to scan samples, improving clarity and depth perception.
