differential interference contrast imaging
Differential interference contrast imaging is a microscopy technique that enhances the visibility of transparent specimens by creating contrast based on variations in refractive index. It uses polarized light and specialized optics to generate an image with improved depth perception and sharpness, revealing fine details and structures that may be difficult to observe with traditional bright-field microscopy.
