In dark field microscopy, the "living" blood, i.e. not a dried preparation as is usually the case, is analysed directly under the microscope in the dark field. This is a specialised and innovative way of analysing blood.

What is dark field microscopy?

In darkfield microscopy, the "living" blood, i.e. not a dried preparation as is usually the case, is analysed directly under the microscope in the dark field. One drop of blood is already sufficient for this. With this special way of looking at the blood, the fine structures can be made visible. This examination of the blood offers, for example, the possibility to observe red and white blood cells and above all to evaluate their quality. It becomes apparent in which environment the cells live and reproduce and microbial contamination can also be detected. Dark-field microscopy thus allows us to obtain a clear morphological picture (morphology, the study of the structure and form of organisms). Forms, size and behaviour of blood cells and also the possible presence of pathogens in the blood can be clearly represented and observed. These changes, which can be detected by dark field microscopy, provide important information for a diagnosis but also for a suitable therapy which can be worked out individually.

The teaching of Prof. Dr. Enderlein

„Das Blut – Spiegelbild des Lebens“

Professor Günther Enderlein (1872-1968), German zoologist and entomologist, recognised the potential of dark field microscopy. In his research he showed that all organisms are subject to constant change. The theory of the so-called pleomorphism assumes that micro-organisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses, parasites) do not only enter the body from the environment, through infection, but depending on the nature of the internal environment, they can also form in the body itself and change their state.


A darkfield analysis may be appropriate in the following situations:

  • Chronic diseases

  • Susceptibility to infections

  • Autoimmune diseases

  • Allergies

  • Cardiovascular problems

  • Cancer

  • Deficiencies of vital substances

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Übersäurerung

  • Over-allowance
