What Does PCM Stand For?
PCM stands for Phase Contrast Microscopy
Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) is an optical imaging technique that enhances the contrast of transparent and colorless specimens, making it especially valuable in biological and medical research. By utilizing differences in the refractive index of cellular components, PCM allows for the visualization of live cells and tissues without the need for staining. This non-invasive method enables detailed observation of dynamic cellular processes, facilitating advancements in cell biology and diagnostics.
