Darkfield Microscopes

 

Viewed using darkfield microscopy, a specimen will appear brightly lit against a dark background. Darkfield microscopes are ideal for viewing objects that are unstained, transparent and absorb little to no light.

Darkfield Microscopes for Your Lab

Darkfield microscopy uses a contrast-enhancement technique which allows you to view distinguish details which cannot be easily observed using conventional brightfield illumination. We carry a wide range of darkfield microscopes and accessories including high-sensitivity cameras.

Whether you are a college student or professional researcher, we have models to suit your needs.

 

What is a Darkfield Microscope Used For?

Darkfield microscopes are commonly used to view untreated specimens such as live cells, as well as transparent materiels. These instruments use a special condenser which only illuminates specific features of a specimen. Using principals of refraction, darkfield lighting can differentiate substances which cannot be distinguished using brightfield illumination.
