I've been putting my microscope through some test. The first image is a diatom test slide using an Olympus 40x S-Plan acromate with 2.5x photo tube lens. Its a 50% crop, 5 frame focus stack using Zerene Stacker. The second image is a marine sponge spicule prep I did from a sponge found in my marine aquarium. This time 15 frame stack. The third image is at 20x and is a single image using DIC at a"grunge setting" I'm not sure if using DIC in this way is frowned up, but it does make for an attractive image.
