  2. Staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staining

    In vivo vs In vitro. In vivo staining (also called vital staining or intravital staining) is the process of dyeing living tissues. By causing certain cells or structures to take on contrasting colours, their form ( morphology) or position within a cell or tissue can be readily seen and studied. The usual purpose is to reveal cytological details ...

  3. Microtechnique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtechnique

    Microtechnique is an aggregate of methods used to prepare micro-objects for studying. [1] It is currently being employed in many fields in life science. Two well-known branches of microtechnique are botanical (plant) microtechnique and zoological (animal) microtechnique. With respect to both plant microtechnique and animal microtechnique, four ...

  4. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(optics)

    A condenser (right) and its respective diaphragm (left) A condenser is an optical lens that renders a divergent light beam from a point light source into a parallel or converging beam to illuminate an object to be imaged. Condensers are an essential part of any imaging device, such as microscopes, enlargers, slide projectors, and telescopes.

  5. Petrographic microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrographic_microscope

    Thin sections under a microscope. A petrographic microscope is a type of optical microscope used to identify rocks and minerals in thin sections. The microscope is used in optical mineralogy and petrography, a branch of petrology which focuses on detailed descriptions of rocks. The method includes aspects of polarized light microscopy (PLM).

  6. White blood cell differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell_differential

    LOINC. 33255-1, 24318-8, 69738-3. A white blood cell differential is a medical laboratory test that provides information about the types and amounts of white blood cells in a person's blood. The test, which is usually ordered as part of a complete blood count (CBC), measures the amounts of the five normal white blood cell types – neutrophils ...

  7. Bacterial vaginosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_vaginosis

    Phase contrast microscopy of clue cells in a vaginal swab A pH indicator to detect vaginal alkalinization (here showing approximately pH 8), and a microscope slide to microscopically detect clue cells Gram stain of cells from the vagina (the same magnification) with normal bacterial flora (top) and the bacteria that cause vaginosis (bottom).

  8. Fixation (histology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_(histology)

    Fixation (histology) In the fields of histology, pathology, and cell biology, fixation is the preservation of biological tissues from decay due to autolysis or putrefaction. It terminates any ongoing biochemical reactions and may also increase the treated tissues' mechanical strength or stability. Tissue fixation is a critical step in the ...

  9. Phase-contrast microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-contrast_microscopy

    Phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) is an optical microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through a transparent specimen to brightness changes in the image. Phase shifts themselves are invisible, but become visible when shown as brightness variations. When light waves travel through a medium other than a vacuum, interaction ...
