How Does Phase Contrast Imaging Compare with Other Imaging Techniques?
Compared to other imaging techniques like SEM and TEM, phase contrast imaging offers unique advantages. SEM and TEM provide detailed surface and internal structure information, respectively, but often require extensive sample preparation and may not be suitable for real-time observation. Phase contrast imaging, on the other hand, excels in non-destructive, real-time monitoring, making it complementary to these methods rather than a replacement.
