This tutorial explains the optical elements in the light path and the operating mode of the modulation contrast. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/the-principles-of-modulation-contrast-a-step-by-step-guide/ Mon, 25 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Dr. Thomas Veitinger Hoffman modulation contrast has established itself as a standard for the observation of unstained, low-contrast biological specimens. The integration of the modulator in the beam path of themodern inverted microscopes allows a wide range of brightfield or phase objectives to be used, rather than a small selection of special objectives. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/integrated-modulation-contrast-imc/ Wed, 01 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0200 Dr. Thomas Veitinger, Dipl.-Phys.
