Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bright field microscope is used for observing specimens that are visible in natural or stained form. The light rays pass directly through the specimen in this type of microscope. Dark field, phase-contrast, and Nomarski microscopes all use specific techniques to enhance the contrast of a specimen, but do not necessarily pass light rays directly through the specimen.
