microscopyarerelated
Microscopyarerelated, a label for topics related to microscopy, is not a standard term in practice. This article uses microscopy-related concepts to describe imaging methods that reveal structure and processes at scales from cells to molecules. It encompasses optical techniques based on visible light, non-optical methods using electrons or scanning probes, and specialized modalities for contrast, labeling, or spectroscopy.
Optical microscopy includes bright-field, phase-contrast, differential interference contrast, and polarized light methods. Fluorescence microscopy uses fluorescent
Electron microscopy relies on electron beams to achieve higher resolution. Transmission electron microscopy reveals internal structure
Scanning probe microscopy, including atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, maps surface properties at the
Microscopy requires careful sample preparation and instrumentation; each modality has limitations in resolution, contrast, potential artifacts,
