Rotifer
Using my Canon 200D and a mid range custom built microscope, I took a video of this rotifer. It is so difficult to get decent videos of micro organisms, getting the color and contrast right. Will I have to invest in finding a second-hand top of the range Olympus to get the results? probably

Re: Rotifer
Thank you! I am going to work on seeing if I can improve my videos further, I enjoy the challenge. The background color for bright field was an effort to get it white and not yellowish but that seems to work now.

Re: Rotifer
Thank you! It is so incredible what you can find in your pond. Hopefully I can put more effort into my photographs to produce photographs that people can enjoy. Even though it sounds really strange I try not to harm these creatures, so I put them back in the water once done.
Re: Rotifer
Very nice videos.
The colours (in brightfield) other than the background seem to be spot on, you may be trying to make the background just a little too white,
though I agree a yellow tinge can be annoying.
I looked up your previous post on your microscope and you seem to be using a 7W, 4000k LED.
Have you considered the use of a blue filter, they come in various shades, it might help.

Great video’s. Looks like you have nailed it with the set up you are using. And yes, I too return my samples back to the aquarium.

Re: Rotifer
Thank you for the advice. I am waiting on an order now from Amazon of a 32mm blue filter from Amscope that has left Amsterdam on its way to Cape Town, as soon as I get it that should deal with the problem.75RR wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 11:13 amVery nice videos.
