Some help with photography

[Shivs]

Now that I have a half decent scope, I am trying to get some decent images. I am still trying to learn how to light specimens and getting the right balance of resolution and contrast. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

I think you might get more feedback if you provided some details.

Knowing what microscope, objectives, slide preparation and illumination technique you used would help.

ok, thanks for the feedback. I just got a new camera so Ill take some more pics and make sure to note everything down.

To help with my lighting I have to use a feature of the amscope software called Flat Field Correction while no slide is placed and then adjust the white balance. The Contrast I use varies depending on what my eye thinks looks the best after the earlier steps I outlined are completed. I'm still a beginner so I am learning more techniques

Something else I do only works with non-moving targets but I really like making panoramas using stitching and also for increased field of depth I use a process called stacking. Both processes are available via free programs available on the internet. I tried using the stitching software that Amscope came with but it just freezes and never does anything after the process starts.

• For stacking I use Zerene Stacker (for now until trial runs out)

• For Panoramas I use Microsoft ICE

ICE has apparently been discontinued. They recommend using The Microsoft Photo Gallery. I downloaded it but haven't ried it for panoramas. Do you know where you can still get ICE?

It's here:-

[DonSchaeffer]

That address loads a note that says ICE is no longer available.

I think you are a way better photographer than me, and I look forward to seeing what you can do.

I got it from some third party file hosting site such as this link https://image-composite-editor.software ... r.com/2.0/

Just be careful when downloading from third party sites

I'm hip!

I believe you can still do better, Just keep giving your best.
