Which of the following properties is NOT from the intrinsic contrast in optical imaging? A) Scaered liglt from mitochondria B) Fluorescent marker attached to nucleic acid (C) Phase difference from a cell. D) Reflected light from a metal surface

Explanation / Answer

1. The correct option is B) Diffraction.

Due to diffraction, the image spreads and the resolution reduces.

2. The correct option is D) A spherical aberation comes from the off-axis light propagation

Spherical aberration occurs due to the increased refraction of light rays when they strike a lens near its edge,

3. The correct option is A) ability of an optical system to show two close objects as separate.

  The numerical aperture is a measure of its ability to gather light and resolve fine specimen detail at a fixed object distance.

4. The correct option is A) only the intensity of the light can only be detected.

For light, not only intensity, wavelength and phase can also be determined.
