The Role of Phase Contrast Microscopy in Microscopic Analysis of Urine
Abstract
For not having the sufficient contrast of the sedimental elements of microscopic urinelysis, the phase contrast microscopy Was used and the results were compared with the bright field microscopy. It was observed that, cither cellular structures or casts were identified properiy and guickiy with the use of phase contrast MİCrOSCopY.
