27
This microscope utilizes reflected light instead of transmitted light, with a special condenser that has an opaque disc that blocks the light, such that only the specimen is illuminated.
Dark field microscope
28
This type of microscope is ideal for studying specimens that are unstained or transparent and absorb little or no light.
Dark field microscope
29
A microscope that is based on the principle that differences in refractive indices and light waves passing through transparent objects assumes different phases.

Frits Zernike (1934)
31
The phase contrast microscope has a _______ optical technique in order to produce high contrast images of specimens that are transparent.
Contrast enhancing
32
This microscope is similar to the phase contrast microscope except that it utilizes two beams of light instead of one and therefore has higher resolution.
Differential interference contrast microscope
33
The differential interference contrast microscope was developed by _______
Georges Nomarski (1952)

This microscope is useful in examining living specimens when normal biological process might be inhibited by standard staining procedures.
Differential interference contrast microscope
35
This microscope makes use of ultraviolet light and fluorescent dyes called fluorochromes.
Fluorescence microscope
36
The specimen under study fluorescence are appears to _____against a dark background
Shine
37
This microscope is based on the principle that certain material emit energy that is detectable as visible light when they are irrigated with the light of a given wavelength.
Fluorescence microscope
38
This microscope can be used to visualize structural components of small specimen such as cells and to detect the viability of cell population. It may also be used to visualize the genetic material of cell DNA and RNA
Fluorescence microscope
39
This microscope is also known as the confocal laser scanning microscope or laser confocal scanning microscope.
Confocal microscope
40
This microscope uses an optical imaging technique that increases optical resolution and contrast of the micrograph by using a spatial pinhole to blackout of focus light in image formation.
Confocal microscope
41
This microscope is useful in the study of cell physiology
Confocal microscope
42
This microscope utilizes a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen
Electron microscope
43
In the electron microscope that serves as the source of illumination and magnets are used to focus the beam.

44
Electron microscope was built by german engineer and physicist _______
Ernst Ruska (1933)
45
What are the two types of electron microscopes

46
_______ is the original form of the electron microscope. Produces two dimensional, black and white images and magnifies objects up to 200,000 times.
Transmission electron microscope
47
_______ realize on interactions at the surface rather than transmission. Can magnify bulk samples with greater depth of you so that the image produce represents the 3d structure of the sample. Magnified object 10,000 times.
Scanning electron microscope
48
Scanning probe microscope was developed in 1980s by swiss scientist _________ and _______.
