Let’s see some cool images you got accidentally

#1 Post by Radazz » Mon Feb 05, 2018 3:32 pm

I was looking through some photos and it occurred to me that some of my most interesting images were stumbled upon while experimenting.

This terrible dissection of a jumping spider was captured on a Wild Heerbrugg M20 10x bright field objective. Rheinberg filter in the condenser tray. Red annulus yellow center.
Bottom illumination backed off to almost nothing with a point source led from the side facing the eyes of the specimen.

If I moved the specimen at all in any direction, the effect was lost.

To date I have never been able to duplicate the shot.

May we see some of your happy accidents?

Not a stupid idea at all.
It's just that nobody here makes mistakes :lol:
