Frez that is just beautiful! And a Happy New Year to you too. That Rhienberg illumination is something I must eventually get into.
Thanks Frez.

Ken, This is actually Rheinberg/COL done with homemade filters. They are made with an inkjet printer and transparency sheets. The filters are created in Corel Draw. The link will take you to a jpeg of some filters that work well with my setup and a 40x objective. I use them in a filter holder under the condenser with both diaphragms wide open. They can also simply be taped to the condenser bottom. These particular filters are oversized and too large for a typical 32mm filter holder and will need to be resized to suit your needs. Transparency sheets can be bought at any office supply store such as Staples. I double up two filters to establish opaqueness and deeper colors. To center the filter, lower the condenser until a dark spot appears. Then center the spot directly under the specimen and raise the condenser until you see the desired effect.

Good Luck

Thanks again Frez, that all looks a bit daunting but I have a ways to go. I have put that link in my favourites for when I get a bit more savvy. Thanks very much Frez.

If anyone is curious where the name Frez came from, go here and click on "about". Right now the site has a lot of work related pics on it. It seems the good micro images end up here instead of there. :)
