These are the lecture notes for FAU’s YouTube Lecture “Medical Engineering”. This is a full transcript of the lecture video & matching slides. The course is supported by a corresponding Open Access Book, and Open Source Slides (zenodo/github). We hope, you enjoy this as much as the videos. Of course, this transcript was created with deep learning techniques largely automatically and only minor manual modifications were performed. Try it yourself! If you spot mistakes, please let us know!

Welcome back to Medical Engineering. Today we want to continue talking about microscopes and in particular, we want to talk about the contrast mechanisms in microscopes. This is what we’ll do in the next couple of minutes so looking forward to discussing the contrast mechanisms in microscopy.

So here we are back in our lecture on medical engineering and today we talk about the contrast mechanisms and the first one we want to look at is bright field microscopy.
