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

Big, bulky presentation projectors are slimming down thanks to Texas Instruments' Digital Light Processing (DLP) chip. It means brighter, sharper images than with traditional LCD projector equipment -- less expensive too. Conference rooms aren't the only place you'll see DLP either.

effet Callier : On sait que l'agrandissement d’un cliché sur un papier déterminé donne une image plus contrastée si l'agrandisseur est du type "à lumière dirigée" que s’il est "à lumière diffusée". Cet effet est important à retenir quant au choix du papier lorsqu'un premier tirage satisfaisant est obtenu avec un appareil déterminé et que l'on effectue par la suite d’autres tirages avec un agrandisseur du type différent. 1, record 4, French, - effet%20Callier
