Nice Foraminifer from Egypt
Nice Foraminifer from Egypt
Hello,
This pretty foraminifera came from Red Sea beach sand.
25x Neofluar transmitted and reflected light. About 300 µm wide. Stacked with Picolay from 38 frames:
You will probably also like this version of the photo, greyscale, negative:
Most forams are not very transparent, and I should need a better vertical lamp for these creatures than my Ikea Jansjö.
Cheers,
Hans

Re: Nice Foraminifer from Egypt
Yes ... I like both images
Just out of interest: You mention the 25x objective, but what is the rest of the imaging train ?

Hello Michael,
My imaging train is not sopisticated.
Illumination is by a DYO-LED, my top lamp is an Ikea Sansjö .
As you will probably know, the Zeiss KF2 has a fixed illumination and a basic diaphragm condensor, no koehlering.
As cameraobjective the Amscope 14 mP CMOS Camera (MU1400) has got a Plössl Astro Ocular fitted to the C-Mount thread, which is connected to a Zeiss K8x ocular by a tailormade lathed fitting, see

Does this answer your question?
Glad you like the images,
Hans

Contrary to popular belief Kohler lighting is not an absolute necessity for good microscopy.. You are proof...
