Experience with µstuff's Flashgun Microscope Adapter.
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2023 4:19 am
Hello all,
I have recently purchased µstuff's Flashgun Microscope adapter for the Olympus BH2-BHS as indicated by this link: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/265357232852?_t ... p_homepage When testing I found that my Flashgun was constantly under-exposed when trying to decrease power levels to 1/8 through 1/16 where motion for most organisms can be captured. My Flashgun is a Yongnuo Neewer 580 Speedlite 750 with a GN# of 58. I am thinking of a way to increase the flash's light intensity by buying a more powerful unit. However, I need further advice on how proceed on this endeavor or if there are alternative approaches while using this unit. Altering my DSLR's shutter speed or ISO is not effective as it causes the background LED light of the Flashgun adapter to predominate the image over the flash. This undermines any intervention with these approaches. I really appreciate all the help.
