Microscopic image. 50:1 magnification power. Olympus BX40 microscope with C4040 Olympus camera. No manipulation!
I work in my every day lab with a transmission microscope. Yes lateral lighting could be extremely beneficial when I work at microscope with non-transparent objects. I still need to figure how to do it in a proper manner!
Fantastic .. 50:1 wow .. i just think your picture would benefit from a better lighting (some sidelighting ?) .. i suppose here you worked in studio conditions.. Best regards, Peter
