What is another word for dark-field microscope?
Pronunciation: [dˈɑːkfˈiːld mˈa͡ɪkɹəskˌə͡ʊp] (IPA) 
The dark-field microscope is a powerful tool used to visualize specimens that are not visible under a conventional microscope. There are several synonyms for the dark-field microscope, such as shadow-field microscope, oblique illumination microscope, and dark-ground microscope. The shadow-field microscope is named as such because the specimens create shadows, which can be visualized using this type of microscope. Similarly, the oblique illumination microscope uses oblique light to visualize the specimens, making them appear bright against a dark background. The dark-ground microscope is similar to the shadow-field microscope, but it uses a different type of lighting to create a dark background, ultimately making it easier to visualize specimens.
