Could you tell us a bit more about the technicalities of your epi-illumination setup. Sometimes when I'm doing the dishes I get severely distracted by a detergent membrane in the dishwash liquid bottle and forget about the dishes altogether I'd certainly like to explore this on the microscopic level!
bromodomain,
the light must come exactly from above. I use a cover slip, declined 45°, between objective and object - the working distance of my objective 4x is 17mm! So the strong LED light can come horizontally.
I'm still testing a better fixing for the cover slip, and I'll show this when I have the solution.
