La microscopie à contraste de phase utilise les effets d'interférence produits par les différentes séries d'ondes pour créer une image de la structure cellulaire. La lumière qui traverse des zones épaisses de l'échantillon est retardée par rapport à celle qui traverse des régions plus minces. [...] Inventé en 1932 par Zernicke, le microscope à contraste de phase est aujourd'hui largement utilisé [...] 2, record 2, French, - microscope%20%C3%A0%20contraste%20de%20phase
