Morphological details of microorganisms revealed by RCH-microscopy at high magnification - A ready-to-use adaptation of a light microscope

摘要

RCH-microscopy (Relief Contrast after Hostounsky) is a new method of optical microscopy in transmitted light developed with Lambda Ltd,. Prague. This method was used to study bacteria, fungi including yeasts and algae at high magnification. The equipment provides a three-dimensional image of high constrast and resolution. The results of these microscope observations can be used for both morphological (taxonomical) and ecological studies of microorganisms.
