A DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) microscope uses two beams of light to produce a three-dimensional color image. The difference in refractive index is detected by the beams, which creates contrast in the image. Fluorescence microscopes use fluorescent labels to make specific structures or molecules visible, electron microscopes use beams of electrons instead of light, phase-contrast microscopes are used to view transparent specimens, and darkfield microscopes are used to view unstained samples with a dark background.
