Description

A human (Homo sapien) cheek cell smeared on a coverslip and imaged by birghtfield, phase contrast and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. Images were acquired on a Zeiss Axiovert 200M microscope, with a Plan Apo 100x/1.4 Ph3 and a Plan Apo 100x/1.4 DICIII objective lens, equipped with a Photometrics CoolSnap HQ camera and operated by MetaMorph software. Scale bar represents 15 um.
