      @@ExploreTheMicrocosmos thanks! Not DIC just yet. The video has sequences filmed with darkfield, brightfield, phase contrast and a mixture of oblique and darkfield with a light diffuser under the slide. This last technique is very experimental but it produces some of the best contrast and colours in the images. I will receive a new bx51 DIC microscope on Tuesday though, really looking forward to filming some videos with it :)

      I tried starting one but RUclips gave me a strike for " showing how to make controlled substances or drugs" when I was looking at a Virginia creeper leaf under the microscope. So I stopped. It's several times in several channels RUclips has done this to me so I don't want to do it anymore

    • @5dlrmicro

      But actually if you 2 are doing microscopy channels mabie I'd give mine another chance. I use a old stereoscopic dissection scope. Like the ones you see in high school. I'm usually learning new stuff every time I look so probably not a knowledgeable as you guys but. If I can avoid the RUclips Minotaur of getting strikes for it mistaken hi vis safety vests as nudity and random plants as marijuana. I really do enjoy making the videos. Would you guys ever want to do you like a visual podcast where we just talked about microscopy.

      Thanks! Welcome! I'm likely leaving (if not getting kicked out first, lol!) that group. Gets kind of snobbish sometimes -for a Facebook group, anyway. On the other hand, only like 3% of the traffic to this channel comes from Facebook, according to RUclips's analytics, so while the channel is growing the reason is definitely not Facebook so perhaps does not make sense to promote it there anyway 😜

      Hi!. Stereo ones. afaik, allow to see things more 3-d like, however they are not biological microscopes. There are some solutions already around, but I'm unsure if they are already commercial and available to the public. I found this very interesting article: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3626222/
