wide-field microscopy

Wide-field microscopy is a technique that uses visible light to illuminate an entire sample at once, allowing you to see larger areas quickly. It involves shining light through or onto the sample and capturing the resulting image with a camera or eye. This method provides a broad view, making it ideal for observing overall structure and spatial relationships in biological samples or materials. While it may have limitations in resolving very tiny details compared to specialized methods like confocal microscopy, wide-field microscopy is a versatile, efficient tool for examining samples at the cellular or tissue level.
