I found the following beautiful Paramecium and wanted to try a more neutral background.

Body lenght: 154 microns

All with Nikon TE300, 20x/0.75, DIC, flash and Canon T3i mounted on the TE300 front port.

Let me know if you like or do not the colors.

Hi Rogelio,

Beautiful work! I just bought the same camera canon T3i and had a few questions. Do you fire flash in live view? If so how do you accomplish that? I can't seem to be able to fire it in live view. I have non Canon flash. Is that a problem? Please advise.

Thank you!

No, I do not use flash with live view. I use mirror lock up and my microscope has the option to send 80% of the light to the camera and 20% to the binocular head, the camera and binocular head are parfocal so when I see the subject in focus the image on the camera is in focus too. I use a Nikon SB-80 flash in manual mode.

Thank you for your comments.

Got it. Unfortunately I have 100% either for tube or binocular so I'll have to figure something else out. Thank you!

dariuskersulis,

A Canon EX series flash will fire in Live View, but it automatically disables EFSC mode, ie it closes the shutter and cycles the mirror before take the picture, so a very low flash power setting will be convenient to minimise the camera induced vibration effect.

Thanks Pau,

I do happen to have Canon 430EX II, but then I suppose I need the their ST-E2 transmitter, as the one I have is non-canon therefore is not recognized by camera and will not fire.

You just can connect it with a dedicated cable with all the contacts to comunicate with the camera. There is plenty of them in ebay from chinese makers and also I think that Canon makes it.

Rogelio,
What can I say... these are (as is the Thuricola and the others) just stunning. I've never seen DIC color and contrast like you are achieving here!
