BRIGHTFIELD REFLECTED
LIGHT microscopes, often referred to as metallurgical microscopes, are
used to examine opaque specimens which will not transmit light.
Reflected Light is also called Incident Light or Episcopic Illumination
(Epi for short). The illumination is reflected off of a beam splitter - a half mirror
where half the light is reflected and half passes through. The
reflected light travels through the objective lens, which in this
arrangement acts as both a condenser and an objective, and strikes the
specimen. It is then reflected off the specimen back up through
the objective lens, the half mirror, the head, the eyepieces, and
finally to the eye. The way in which the specimen scatters light
will determine how well it can be imaged in this way. Natural
color is usually obscured. Highly reflective specimens such as
polished metals, ceramics, and microchips are well suited for
Brightfield Reflected Light. Objectives on a reflected light
microscope are usually corrected for use with specimens without a
coverslip. For some specimens a combination of
transmitted and reflected light is ideal. Inverted reflected light
microscopes have the advantage of accepting larger specimens, and these
specimens have to be flat on only one side.
