Figure 6
Magnified images of polystyrene particles with a particle size of 7 µm: (a) absorption-contrast image (taken without the phase plate) and (b) phase-contrast image (taken with the phase plate). Both images were recorded with the diffuser. Particle structures are clearly imaged with good contrast in the phase-contrast image of (b), while little image contrast is seen in the absorption-contrast image of (a). The magnification of the zooming tube was ×30 and the exposure time was 5 min. |
