Which risk increases when the laser power drifts upward in differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy?

💡 Explanation

Increased optical power induces specimen photodamage through photochemical reactions; this mechanism accelerates cell stress. Photodamage increases because of direct light energy absorption; therefore the sample degrades, rather than improving resolution or signal which require minimizing photodamage.
