Darkfield Attachment User Guide

Darkfield microscopy is a specialized illumination technique that capitalizes on oblique illumination to enhance contrast in specimen that
are not imaged under normal brightfield illumination conditions. After the direct light has been blocked by an opaque stop in the substage
condenser, light passing through the specimen from oblique angles at all azimuths is diffracted, refracted and reflected into the
microscope objective to form a bright image of the specimen superimposed onto a dark background.
Ideal specimen for darkfield illumination include minute living aquatic organism, diatoms, small insects, unstained bacteria, yeast and
protozoa. Non-biological specimen include mineral and chemical crystals, colloidal particles, dust-count specimens, and thin sections
of polymers and ceramics containing small inclusions.
