Transmitted Light, designation for mi-
croscopy techniques to image light that is
transmitted through the object
Transmitted-light brightfield
Transmitted-light brightfield microscopy
is the most common of all optical micro-
scopic techniques, as it permits high-con-
trast or stained specimens (e.g. blood
smears) to be viewed easily and quickly.
Beside the so-called direct bundles of
rays, the indirect bundles (i.e. those
diffracted and scattered by specimen de-
tails) are also of major importance for
providing true imaging of the object. The
higher the proportion of indirect bundles
of rays (aperture), the more realistic the
microscopic image according to ABBE. To
fully exploit the optical performance of
the microscope, particularly that of the
objective, the condenser, luminous-field
diaphragm and aperture diaphragm
should be set based on the rules of the
KÖHLER illumination principle.
USB
Universal Serial Bus, an industry standard
that defines cables, connectors and com-
munications protocols for connection,
communication, and power supply be-
tween computers and devices.
User
Person examining a sample under the mi-
croscope.
Wi-Fi
Wireless Fidelity
