Dark-Field Microscopy: Where Live Blood Cell Analysis Began

Technology offers an excellent gift and astounds people consistently. The things we used to consider impractical is now very applicable to us. Even the smallest living or non-living things are being tapped by it.

And it does not stop there; even the smallest spot of that smallest part can be perceived by our senses mainly by our sight. And it’s surprising to see a world far minuscule than our own.

And there is still no border where technology will come to an end. For as time goes by it never goes exhausted and discontinue even for just a second. As long as there is something to be uncovered more equipment are formed to compensate one.

One example is this Dark-Field microscopy. This is a expansion of the microscope we before are known with. Even though it’s not that intricate, it makes a justly interesting effect.

Not like the common light microscope which often has white surroundings, the technology of dark- filled microscopy does the opposite. The black background is necessary to highlight the features of the sample.

One wise use of this new tool is in the method named the Live Blood Cell Analysis where the technician takes a drop of blood and studies it in cooperation with the client using the said microscope and discusses things about nutrition.


Live Blood Cell Analysis is just an example; the Dark-Field microscope is used also for learning other samples for analytic reasons. It presents a distinct variation to other procedures for sometimes the aberrations come out in this way.

We can never stop the continuing increase of innovation, fresh scientific advancements and more. The 21st century is the cradle of life’s development, one huge pace from old to new, big or small.

  1. Error in this article... The technology you are referring to is called darkfield not dark-filled. But yes, it is very useful.
