Scans a beam of electrons over the specimen's surface. Used for detailed three-dimensional surface imaging at high magnifications.

Features a dark background with a bright specimen. Useful for observing living, unstained cells.

Uses high-intensity light to excite fluorescent molecules in the sample. Commonly used in molecular biology to observe tagged molecules.

Offers three-dimensional imaging by focusing a laser light on a single plane within a specimen. Frequently used for detailed localization of cellular components.

Enhances contrast in transparent and colorless objects by using phase shifts. Ideal for live cell imaging.

Surpasses the diffraction limit of light, allowing for the observation of structures smaller than 200 nm. Used in in-depth cellular research.

Transmits electrons through a specimen, revealing cellular structures with nanometer resolution. Used for ultrastructural examinations of specimens.

Images surfaces by measuring forces between a sharp probe and specimen. Useful for imaging live cells in water or biological molecules.

Utilizes light to illuminate the sample. Often used for stained or fixed specimens.
