Improvements to my digital microscope

#1 Post by DonSchaeffer » Wed Jun 09, 2021 3:40 pm

I found an old macro photography light and I'm using an adjustable neutral density filter to put my specimens on--like a kind of flexible stage. The filter opens up admitting reflected light from the stage or closing down to dark background.

Here are a couple of pictures of an elm tree seed from last year.
