The unique Q-PHASE microscope is based on the principle of incoherent holography. Where other available solutions make use of a laser or laser diode, which may cause adverse or undesirable effects, mainly in terms of imaging quality, Q-PHASE uses white light for illumination, thus producing high quality imaging. The TESCAN solution enables the monitoring of […]
