Abstract
Articles and systems for dark microscopy and related methods are generally described.
Claims13
An article, comprising:
- a dark field microscopy light source, the dark field microscopy light source comprising:
- a Bragg mirror having a light-receiving surface and a light-transmitting surface for directing light at an object;
- a reflector having a reflective surface facing the light-receiving surface of the Bragg mirror;
- and
- a light source positioned between the light-receiving surface of the Bragg mirror and the reflective surface of the reflector,
- wherein the dark field microscopy light source is configured so that the object, when present, and the reflector are on opposite sides of the Bragg mirror.
