Copepod images (taken with universal filter)

some images of a Copepod (very old sample - I'm surprised they are still alive) taken with the universal filter (new version with vivid blue background).

PZO Plan 10/0,26 objective

PZO Plan 20/0,4 objective

Litonotus,

Interesting the effect with the 20x objective.

thank you

My friends who have DIC say that this effect is very dic-like indeed

I wish I had a better camera connection, but no money for that now. I tried to buy one canon S5 eyepiece adapter, paid for it, but the seller responsed that it gives bad image which does not fill the camera's field of view so I decided to get a refund. Those adapters are becoming very hard to find because like one said: they are blast from the past now

But if something cheap could be found for my camera (I don't expect to complete the E600 soon) I would buy it - at least it WILL be better than hand hold camera placed on the eyepiece...

Arturo, yes, the DIC prism slider is for infinite BX series. It works but not perfect and not with all objectives:
