Darkfield is a simple, yet effective microscopy technique. It is well-suited for live biological samples and industrial samples. Some examples include looking at cells, single-celled organisms, starch grains, crystals, polymers, and films.

Both light and electron microscopy use darkfield microscopy methods. It excludes un-scattered light from the image to produce high-contrast images. As a result, the field around the specimen is dark because there is no specimen to scatter the light beam. Yes, you read that right! We can both illuminate the subject and darken the background… without actually shining light on the sample!

What is darkfield and brightfield microscopy? It sounds like something out of Star Wars! But, unfortunately neither gives us special powers. That doesn’t mean that darkfield and brightfield microscopy aren’t still fascinating.

We provide your organization with effective tools to positively impact your environment, your people, and your business value through effective spend and supplier management solutions.

Darkfield and brightfield microscopy are contrast-enhancement techniques in light microscopy. In simple terms, they are techniques that allow us to better see our specimens. Brightfield microscopy is the conventional technique. It is suitable for observing the natural colors of a specimen. It can also observe stained samples. The specimen appears darker on a bright background. Darkfield microscopy shows just the opposite. The specimen shows up bright on a dark background.

In a range of techniques for illuminating samples in light microscopes, brightfield and its simplicity makes it a popular technique. The typical appearance of a brightfield image is a dark, true color sample on a bright, white background, hence the name.

Brightfield microscopy is the simplest of all the optical microscopy lighting techniques. To get better contrast in the image on dense areas of the sample, simply increase the transmitted light intensity. Then dial in the aperture on the condenser either up or down until the image looks good.

For specialist online retailer, Alpscontrols.com, new business growth resulted in an unmanageable influx of invoices. But Advanced Data Automation has enhanced its accounts team with a faster and more accurate invoice process. They were looking to automate processes, move online, & remove paper where possible. 90% of Alpscontrols suppliers are now dealt with through XML or PDF invoicing automation. Advanced Data Automation enabled this to happen - quickly, efficiently and accurately.

Cultivating a diverse workforce and inclusive culture is a priority for us. Diversity of experience, age, race, ethnicity, background, gender, sexual orientation and religion brings richer perspectives and a powerful frame of reference. Not only is it right to recognize and celebrate differences but creating a culture that is committed to a meritocratic workplace is important to our success. We want everyone to feel welcome and have the opportunity to realize their full potential.

We’ve conducted a survey of 1,150 people across the UK and USA consisting of HR Directors, Managers and Employees to find out what the key trends are for performance management in 2022.

We strive to be a responsible and contributing part of society, seeking to build strong relationships and acting as a good neighbor. We also support and promote employees getting involved in individual fundraising activities. This includes giving them a paid day of Volunteering Leave each year to work with their chosen charity or schemes such as MatchIt! where we match up to £50 (or local equivalent) each employee raises, and Pennies from Heaven where our people can donate pennies from their net pay.

However, one limitation of darkfield is the low light levels seen in the final image. Since darkfield is caused by literally inserting a dark ring to block direct light, the light source must be at maximum intensity to get a darkfield image seen through the oculars. Looking at a black screen? Camera settings, like exposure time and gain, can increase to brighten the digital image on the monitor..

However, there are limitations. Given the nature of most biological samples, there is very low contrast and the image can look a bit whitewashed. Moreover, the limit to brightfield microscopy is around 1300X, which may not be suitable for some cases. For more contrast, try dialing down the aperture. Otherwise, phase contrast is another brightfield technique that can help.
