Reducing glare from incident light with Wild M7A
Reducing glare from incident light with Wild M7A
I'm working with sediment samples immersed in water, using a Wild M7A and halogen incident light via fiber optic source and getting glare from the light reflected by the water in my samples. Is there a simple polarizing filter (or other filter type) setup I can add to the Wild, maybe just under the objective lens, to cut the glare. Example picture below. Thanks.

Add water until everything is covered.

Thanks Chas, it's not my original idea but mounted on the objective rather than the light source.
Gives a good flood of light.

You can put a polarizer on your lightbsource and a rotatable analyzer (ie a camera polarizer) on your main objective. It will gi e a different effect with tunable highlights. Diffusion is hard to beat though.
