Overview: • Gyrosigma balticum (diatom), 63x/0.80 NA objective, bright-field • Test of resolution of surface frustules on Gyrosigma • Slide by Klaus Kemp • Zeiss Axioskop, Zeiss Axiocam CCD black and white images
Resolution and contrast: NA = 0.9 (condenser aperture wide open) • Image well-resolved, but somewhat lacking in contrast
Resolution and contrast: NA = 0.8 (resoution of condenser matches that of objective) • Image well-resolved and with good contrast
Resolution and contrast: NA = 0.4 (condenser diaphragm at 50% field of view in back focal plane) • Image poorly resolved – Airy disk size is such that individual frustules blend together and give the false image of ridges on diatom surface. • (“Bad” image)
Resolution and contrast: NA = 0.05 (condenser diaphragm stopped down to smallest aperture) • Image very poorly resolved – Airy disks so large that many points in image run together and there is little resolution. • (“Bad” image)
Leaf cross section, Dianthus,20x objective, phase contrast • Pre-prepared slide • Olympus CKX41/31
Anther cross section, Lillium (lily),4x objective, fluorescence, green (TRITC) ex, red em • Pre-prepared slide • Olympus CKX41/31

Pollen, Pinus (pine),40x objective, fluorescence, green (TRITC) ex, red em • Pre-prepared slide • Olympus CKX41/31
Sporangium, Polystichum munitum (sword fern), 10x objective, fluorescence, blue (FITC) ex • Olympus CKX41/31, Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital camera color image, through ocular
Aphid (unidentified species), 4x, dark-field (Ph3 ring substituted for PhL ring) • Olympus CKX41/31 • (Semi-”bad” image: air bubble and schmutz on otherwise good image)
Antenna, aphid (unidentified species), 40x, fluorescence, blue (FITC) ex • Olympus CKX41/31
Leg, aphid (unidentified species), 20x, phase contrast • Olympus CKX41/31
Diatom test slide, 20X, bright-field • Slide made by master diatom artist, Klaus Kemp • Olympus CKX41/31
Pleurosigma angulatum (diatom), from diatom test slide, 20x, phase contrast • Olympus CKX41/31
Make your own slide: all slides were made by me unless otherwise noted. This would constiute at least half the slides presented here. • Dark-field: Several, including two darkfield images of morel asci (in both Zoom and Story projects) and one of the aphid images. • “Bad” images: two of the diatom slides. Problems with the darkfield aphid slide are also noted.
