Question 23

This type of microscopy is based on fluorescent effect. It
is when some molecules in tissues under short wave radiation become exited and
start to shine. The generated light has larger wavelength than inducing light. There
are special stains that may cause fluorescence in tissues (e.g. acridine orange).

Answer 23

Fluorescent microscopy

Question 24

Here the light is divided into two beams. One beam goes
through the object, other passes it by. Then they meet together and make
interference picture. By phase shift in this picture we may detect precise
concentration of a substance in a cell. So we may conclude that it is quantitative
method.

Answer 24

Interference microscopy

Question 25
