My green water culture is challenging to study with the microscope but still a lot of fun.
I think I need to get my objective and condenser aligned better to get this to work at higher magnifications. I wish I understood how to do that. Right now otherwise at 40x objective only the specimen near the top of the fov will actually be visible. And also I get a gradient on the background instead of solid dark field.
Ah I didn't realize that aligning the condenser could help. I'm going to try that. I tend to get gradients in my background on higher magnifications as well, but since I do more artsy things I tend to use that to my advantage with rhienburg illumination mixed in. It can look quite nice.
Look i say this, but remember i barely know anything here. Still not sure even sure how all those parts are connected. But for setting up Kohler illumination it looks to be essential.
Yesterday I properly aligned the light source on my microscope and wow it was a tremendous improvement in available light. Feels at least 50% brighter.

This space is quite general in scope - microscopes, microbiology, small component electronics, questions about buying optical components, etc.

Looks great! I feel the pain on trying to get higher magnification darkfield to work lol.
