colinbm Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Randon Butterfly Wing Scale @ 20x 0x Internal co-axial & external ring lighting, I need to make them both the same colour temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulf Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Nice image Colin, I really like it! I would not call it 60x, even if you used your 60x microscope objective. I might be 60x if you show a sensor sized image, but then the image is magnified further to get the final image. Instead of text stating the magnification, a scale bar with text of how long that would be at the motif would be nice. I would make that scale bar the only added feature to the image to avoid disturbing the beauty off the image. For more information a caption-text below would IMHO be better. It would also be interesting if possible to see this image in a bigger less reduced size if it is not a cropped out part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Perrin Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I think the different color temperatures actually are helping the image here. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinbm Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 @ulf Thanks for getting me to check again. I have edited the post & photo. It was late or should I say early in the Morning that I did this & in my excitement I guessed the wrong objective, it is in fact the 20x objective that I was using. Here is the same set-up but with the 0.5 graduation ruler, showing approximately 1.7mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinbm Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 @Andy Perrin I checked the LED lights with my machine & they are both 6000k. I wonder why they reflect differently ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Beautiful image, Colin! The scales appear to show iridescence. Different angles of the incident light from the internal and the external ring lights may cause the reflections of different colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Perrin Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I agree, if the LEDs were the same, then it's the iridescence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
