Hello Litonotus,

interesting pictures! I have the suspect that the color is coming from oil droplets. cfr. http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-06-dis ... eight.html , also: http://www.sciencepoles.org/news/news_d ... at_depths/

Fascinating and very nice images - I'm curious what level of cropping you are doing? Would it be possible to post the uncropped versions of the images.

The reason I ask is that I have playing with your Universal filter concept and have been getting some ok results but nothing like the even backgrounds , you display , across the whole of the uncropped frame and am thinking I am doing something wrong.

thank you.

As I said before - I'm taking images the simpliest and the worst way possible - I just stick camera to the eyepiece... So the field of view is very small, it is circular of course and is aobut 40% of the camera's frame... But the filter gives good background on the whole field of view when I look through the eyepiece.

show me your images and filter maybe we find out what's wrong.

Will,
Does your scope have Kohler illumination? My first thought is that the filter has to be located at the correct position in the light path and the condenser has to be properly focused. First, make sure you are inserting the filter into a conjugate plane in the illumination pathway (ie. at the filter slot immediately above or below the condenser aperture diaphragm). And make sure the condenser is focused on the specimen plane by adjusting it up or down. Those are my first thoughts, maybe someone here will have a better idea.

Litonotus,
Neat copepod pics. 8)

here are some answers:

- I have kohler illumination but I do not use it when I use the filter because closing any diaphragm (light source or condenser) reduces obligue light effect which is necessary here
- filter is placed on the filter tray (not inside like typical circular filters) under the condenser diaphragm
- every filter position is correct ---> by changing the filter position I change effects (background borghtness and contrast)
