Rheinberg illumination experiment
Here's my first experiment with Rheinberg illumination: a rotifer. Maybe not the most suited object, but it's not too bad.

Nice try Jan!. I wonder if the specimen would be clearer with a lighter background?.

Yes good try Janvangastel I have tested these filters a lot and sometimes it gets really good! //KD

Re: Rheinberg illumination experiment
Microscopes are not like magnifying glasses. They work on the basis of interference patterns that break the white light into color bands. They fail to resolve images when the interference patterns are not present. I think the color consequences on microscopic images are unpredictable. There doesn't have to be a specific cause of a color dysfunction.

Huh? I don’t think that describes standard Brightfield (or Darkfield) microscopy. Maybe some of the specialized contrast meathods?DonSchaeffer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 12:52 amMicroscopes are not like magnifying glasses.

The color in this case is from a color Rheinberg filter.

Great video!
Does anyone know how this would look compared to regular darkfield, but with a blue filter placed between the objective and camera sensor instead?

Steve, I tried that, but then the blue color bleeds into the bolack background, reducing the contrastNice try Jan!. I wonder if the specimen would be clearer with a lighter background?.

Sir, I did this in the three last photographs below. I placed the color filter on top of the iris, below the condenser and a dark field patch in the filter tray, between the iris and the condenser, just below the condenser. I also tried 'normal' Rhienberg method, but saw no difference. Below are the photographs: bright field, deark field and blue and red 'Rheinberg'.Does anyone know how this would look compared to regular darkfield, but with a blue filter placed between the objective and camera sensor instead?

Re: Rheinberg illumination experiment
Great photos! I made my own filters and I really enjoy using them. My artist wife had me put the filters in with complementary colors. Blue with orange. Violet with yellow. Red with green. If you haven't tried that you may enjoy it. I do. I especially like a violet background and yellow, or darkfield with yellow.
Enjoy. Greg
