Phase contrast applications
Phase contrast microscopy, and a related technique called differential interference contrast (DIC)
microscopy, is a low light level condition microscopy, to illustrate topology and also differences
in index of refraction. The visualization of the crystalline texture of a crystallizable polymer
is one very important example of the use of DIC. It is a contrast enhancing technique based on a
phase difference introduced by the addition by a 1/4 wave plate.
Phase contrast is considered a low light level form of light microscopy and therefore depending on
your particular samples, you might be using long exposure times and therefore in need of a cooled camera.
