La microscopie à fond noir est [...] utilisée pour l'étude d'échantillons non colorés. Le principe est le suivant : les rayons lumineux arrivent latéralement et la lumière dispersée par les divers composants cellulaires est captée par les lentilles du microscope. La cellule apparaît alors comme un objet lumineux sur un fond sombre. [...] Cette méthode offre une image très contrastée et permet de détecter des structures fines plus facilement qu'avec d'autres types de microscopie [...] 5, record 1, French, - ultramicroscopie
