What is micro?
Photomicroscopy is the process of documenting images on film as seen through a microscope. It is usually defined as any magnification at the film plane of 10X (life size) and higher.
Transillumination considerations:
Glare
The intermediate plane aperture should be stopped down to reduce glare as well as bring out the detail in the image
Numerical Aperture
In simple words, the higher the NA, the larger the cone of light accepted by the lens, the higher its resolution, and the lower its depth of field. Most microscope lens have no iris diaphragm like a camera lens and so are used at full aperture -- but with microscopes one is generally interested in resolution, not in depth of field. A 100 X oil immersion lens typically has a NA of 1.24 to 1.4, which corresponds to a limiting resolution of about 0.2 micrometers with the proper illumination. For comparison, a typical mammalian cell is 8 to 10 micrometers in diameter. As a camera lens is stopped down, its NA and resolution fall and the depth of field increases.
Optics - use lenses of a higher numerical aperture if there is not enough detail in the image and to get the best resolution.
Fluorescence microscopy, use the highest numerical aperture possible for the magnification desired, especially if the staining is dim.
Color - increase the luminances filament light source to (3200 K) and place a blue filter to match 5500 K. Alternateviley use a xenon arc lamp which gives white light and provides a full color spectrum.For H&E staining (hemotoxylin/eosin), use of a didymium filter (BG20)to enhace the reds.
Black & White - To increase contrast use a very narrow band green filter should be placed in the light path.
All my photographic work is currently done on digital format. Canon is my preference for camera body and optics. My flashes and lights vary depending on the assignment.
Send me an email to access my photostock. All my shots are posted at my Kodak gallery.
