1st phase contrast shots

Finally got the correct phase contrast turret for my Amscope T660. Just quickly experimenting...here are a couple of shots with the 40x. I think I may like this

Thanks, Javier! The camera is Amscope's MU503B via Toupview.

Nice!

These are quite promising. Usually phase has to be jigged a little off center to get a little relief as in DIC but these are o.k.
Well done for a simple system!

The Amscope phase kit is the coolest most awesomeist thing ever

Good start. Perhaps some Brightfied/Phase comparison photos with the same subject would interest members who are considering purchasing Phase Contrast kits.

Price of course should also be a consideration.

Good idea! I shall do that next set-up - hopefully later today.
