Your photos always amaze me!
Were those simple darkfield, or DIC with black background?

The camera was a Canon T3i. The microscope was a "hybrid" Nikon MM-11/Olympus scope I use a great deal. You can see the scope below.Rodney wrote:what type of camera did you use to capture the photo?
It was simple darkfield (no DIC) but not the typical condenser type. The picture below shows a set-up similar top what was used. The slide was placed over the opening in the stage. Under it there was no condenser. A piece of black flocked material ("Protostar") was placed a few inches underneath the stage opening to provide the black background. A "ring diffuser" (in this case a piece of ping-pong ball) was placed on the slide around the subject and it was illuminated from the sides via LED lights. (I no longer use the Ikea lights as seen in this older picture. I now use some LED lights that I put together and described here. Two of those lights were used from the sides.
Re: Daphnia
Had seen your hybrid setup before but had assumed it was for taking photos of insects - had no idea it could be used with a wet slide and to such great effect. What would you call that illumination technique?

Re: Daphnia
A stunning group of images, and your innovative approach to lighting is really interesting.
The results are certainly worth the effort.
Well done!

Re: Daphnia
I can think of only two words: perfection and poetry. Thank you for the post and for the explanation.
Re: Daphnia
Great to see Mr. Krebs here! Knockout imagery as always, and especially love the "behind the scenes" bits - it's nothing if not wonderfully inspirational.
