THE PRINCIPLE OF
PHASE CONTRAST
MICROSCOPY
 Phase contrast microscopy is a form of
microscopy used to generate contrast
to the image

 The phase contrast microscope uses a

phase plate which has phase ring at the
center.

Applications of the phase

contrast microscope:
• For observing the
unstained, colorless
specimen.
• Studying the live
specimen under a
microscope.
