Excellent images, can you tell me which software do you use for stacking?.
PS.: In the American forum "Photomacrocraphy" Charles Krebs posted similar images...

Gekko,
nice image, unfortunately I can`t open the video

Additional images, as promised... Thank you for your kind attention,
best regards

Dear all,

last week we celebrated "Valentine`s day" - every female get`s flowers, I gave my wife tulips and took the opportunaty to do some investigations and shot some images. Additional images will follow...

Rod,

it is also named "Etzold FCA" and is a mixture of Fuchsin, Chrysoidin and Alcianblau (sorry but I don`t know in English).
It is usable for all plant sections and gives nice results.

Manfred

Rod,
I find this image much more better than 1st one.
One tipp: you have decided to cut pine needles - those are very hard to do, you need a lot of experience and exercise - try for the beginning to cut plants which are to cut more easy.

Hello Rod, thank you for your nice comment. Most important is to try again and again, also my first attempts were really disatisfying. Most of my equipment is homemade (microtome, razorblade holder). To achieve this image I did several dozens of sections, only a few of them were thin enough (ca. 50m...

Great images,colors and structures are fascinating,
did you use polarisation?

Vaselle,
great sharpness, made with Stereomicroscope?
Unfortunately I have too few of them ...

Dear all, motivated by the section of a pine needle shown by Rod (rnabholz) I tried today the same. Believe me - its a real challenge. The section was stained with Wacker FCA. In picture 2 I try to explain the details, unfortunately only in German (my English is too poor :oops: ) Any comments are we...

John,

place the Rheinberg - filter in the filterholder.

Gekko,
phantastic, image 1 is my favourite...
Warmest regards
Manfred

Vaselle,
great image, as usual, but my French is too poor to interprete the content...
Nevertheless, great - 10 points from Austrian jury...

Great image, go ahead this way...
warmest regards from Austria,
Manfred

Great shot, for my opinion there is no need to clean up background, it`s wildlife

Great, did you mazerate the speciman (perhaps KOH?), because it`s very clear.

Gekko,
great, last image (darkfield) is my personal favourite, thank you for sharing.
Warmest regards

Great, unreachable for me, thank you for sharing.

Only one comment - wow

Vaselle, I like your pictures, image 3 and 4 are my personal favourites.
Only one comment: I think, your images would be a little bit better if you would try to have a homogeneous background.
No critic, but an attempt to improve ...

Still many bubbles

Nevertheless - great

Thank you for sharing, your equipment is similar to mine, but your results are much more better.

For the first attempt it looks very good, there are many details, I suppose the thickness of the section might be very thin.
Did you stain?
As you know, I`m also using a homemade "microtome", can you upload some images showing yours?

I would also be interested to know, how they perform, can you provide some images?

Gekko,great,
next time I try do some video...

Gekko, great as usual.
Crater Eddie: Yes, those are calcium oxalate crystals

Thank you for all comments, the sections have a thickness of around 50 microns. Attached image is showing my (selfmade and poor) equipment: 1.jpg 1.)Brush - to remove the sections from razor blade 2.)Razor blade - for cutting (for every section I use a new one) 3.)"Microtome" - Stainless steel core,...

Vaselle, only one comment - great - image 3 is my favourite, I want to make a picture for my living room, but I`ve to ask my wife

Fascinating resolution, question:What is "Frankenscope"?

This is wildlife, I like it...
