Yeast under the microscope


Phasecontrast photograph, in the middle budding cells. Vacuaoles (light circles) and nuclei (dark) are easily visible.

The phasecontrast technique makes objects visible that have a refraction index different from that of the medium (like glass in water). The background appears grey. Living objects can be observed without fixation and staining.
