Re: What factors affect the quality of image obtained using a light microscope?
It would help if you were to copy the precise question here. I feel it is a vague question to begin with. All steps prior to microscopy you do have to be optimized to get the best image.
0. Proper section thickness (ideally between 2 and 7 micron thickness).
1. Optimized fixation
2. Optimized staining
3. Use of counter-stains (for example, if you are looking at cytoplasm, also counter-stain nuclei)
4. Proper mounting (no bubbles, clean coverslips etc).
5. Proper storage.
