More random photos

These are not awesome photos but I wanted to show them to you as I have been playing around with some new equipment I got. Ever since I acquired the fluorescence components for my BX53, I wanted to use it for brightfield reflected illumination as well, but as Charles warned me - the reflections and glare were usually too much.

I decided to get a polarizer for the fluorescent arm - maybe if I polarize the light in the reflected light path it would cut down on the glare? Seems like I was right. Without the polarizer the photos were basically white with a washed out greyish subject matter. I.e. completely useless. Not all photos were taken using reflected illumination though.

This one was interesting as the reflected illumination illuminated the crystals in its exoskeleton differently than transmitted illumination does.
