I'm using ping pong ball illumination to diffuse the light from the goosenecks, but instead of a ping pong ball I'm using those little plastic ketchup cups you can get a McDonald's. Nice diffusion with much greater light transmission.
The colored backgrounds are accomplished by backlighting the subject using the microscopes illuminator and putting Rosco gels on the illuminator itself.
