if you need a polarized light view - then add polarizer. brilliant ! )) in photography this known as polarized flash technique. but as you may notice - when you turn polarizers 90 deg. image became completely unnatural. some reflections are needed for a good presentation so it will be good to add second unpolarized light from one side just for little shine.
You're right, it's not always best to view the fully polarised image. For example, when I apply liquid flux, I cannot see it without the specular reflections. What I usually do is do adjust the circular polariser to let in some of the specular reflections, which completely solves this problem for me. This adjustability is one of the reasons this mod is so good!
@@engineerbo i understand ) i am talking from photograhy point of view. when you rotate polarizer you can bring back some reflections but they are the same unwanted reflections from ring light which you tried to eliminate in the first place. but with a second light you can create whatever reflections you want.
The first 35s has been my life for a few years; did a double take when i saw the same AMScope I have (I think?). Doing this next weekend, thanks! What scope can do you use? Exposure balance and focus beats the pants off the one I have...
The microscope's actually a generic model from an unknown manufacturer. I picked it up when I visited Shenzhen for some work. The camera's actually a phone. My microscope's not trinocular, so I don't have a properly mounted camera. I might need an upgrade...
The polariter you have should be a linear polarizer, for a circular polarizer, rotating the polarizer should have no effect, only a change of handedness eg. from a mirror or flipping one polarizer 180 should change the attenuation
A circular polariser is made from a linear polariser (which filters linearly polarised light) and a quarter-wave plate (which then converts the light to circular polarised).
