I'm not sure what going on here, but it's a lot of fun. Chlorophyll seems to excite above 500nm. I think the exciter filter was a combo of BG12 + KV418. The dichroic beam splitter was 500nm and the barrier was 515nm. The bulb is a 50w HBO.
This is a good example of chlorophyll reacting under fluorescence.
I call this image "Dr Hook". It's a claw or leg from a dead crustacean.
This last one is a Tardigrade that was hidden pretty well in BF.
Thanks

Why Frez, why? Haven't I spent enough money up grading my scope without you guys having to flaunt epi fluorescence and DIC around? An associate of mine has mentioned a time or two that I should go to fluorescence but I really don't have the cash for another toy.
But hey these are some great photographs, much better than darkfield too. Thanks for show'em off.

Yep the DIC bug does bite hard but I will have to resort to the poor mans version by using COL
Anyway the photo looks great on the front cover Frez, congratulations. It will be interesting to see what else you may light up short of producing an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP).
