phase-contrast microscope

Also found in: Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson

0.02 sec.

(Physics / General Physics) a microscope that makes visible details of colourless transparent objects. It employs a method of illumination such that small differences of refractive index of the materials in the object cause differences of luminous intensity by interference
