The following points highlight the three main principles of photomicrography. The principles are: 1. Basic Principle 2. Microscope Configuration for Photomicrography 3. Taking the Photomicrograph. Principle # 1. Basic Principle: The basic principle of photomicrography involves the use of classical microscopy techniques of bright field and cross polarized illumination. Most microscopes used in biological laboratories are of transmitted light variety [...]
