Transmission Light Microscopy

Transmission light microscopy is a technique that uses visible light passed through a thin sample to create an image. The microscope’s lens system focuses the light that passes through the specimen, revealing details about its structure and composition. Different parts of the sample absorb or transmit light differently, creating contrast that allows us to see cellular or material features. This method is commonly used in biology and medicine for examining cells, tissues, and microorganisms, providing a simple yet powerful way to observe microscopic structures directly with clarity and detail.
