That is certainly what I'd expect. Haven't done the experiment though.bromodomain wrote:Thanks for the explanation! If I use light of a certain wavelength am I going to see light intensity differences instead of colour differences?

Excellent, thank you very much! So the green filter turns a simple achromatic objective into something rather like a plan-achromat? If I use it for photomicrography how do I render the images in their original (ie non-green) colour?Ecki wrote: Achromatic objectives are corrected for green. With a green filter they produce an image without any chromatic aberration - the same an Apochromat with the identical NA would produce. Using a green filter was standard practice and every microscope came with it.
