(Sadly, I don't have any further notes on the bead or it's origins handy...)

I have been meaning to do this for some time, taking photographs of the same diatom slide (a small arrangement) using various contrast techniques for comparison. The photos are labelled A-K. I know what each was taken with. Techniques (in no particular order!) include;

 

dark-ground

phase contrast

Hoffman Modulation Contrast (HMC) (DIY)

DIC

oblique

bright-field

relief contrast (Leica, I think designed for inverted)

variable amplitude contrast (VAC)

 

All were taken with a x10 Plan Apo objective, apart from a couple eg. Phase which is a x10 Plan Fluor

 

All are stacked images of 7-11 individual images, and processing is minimal, and broadly the same.

Conospermum taxifolium (Proteaceae). Agnes Banks Nature Reserve, Hawkesbury, Australia. I love the little flowers, they’re like hands with a thumb downturned: “Gimme a scotch, three fingers! :[ “
