Really well done. I prefer brightfield myself for these - the patterns just stand out way better.

Thank you!
I prefer brightfield for these too as the picture remains very clean.
Moreover you can judge the quality of a microscope mostly by brightfield. Anyway I am going to make new pictures with DF, DIC, POL and PH too. I am setting the Axio Scope.A1 and the camera firstly by diatoms, than I will make pictures to aquatic microorganisms too and so on.

Stefano,

Very nice!
It was single shot or stack?

Thank you Rogelio! It was a short stack of 4 shots if I remember, this new Zeiss M27 planapo gives exceptional flattened and clear images.
