Diffuser for Mitutoyo M Plan APO Objectives

$49.00

On a microscope or on a photographic system, like the Macropod PRO 3D, this diffuser set (3 in total) yield phenomenal results.  They are custom designed for the Mitutoyo M Plan APO Objectives and can combine the properties of reflected and transmitted illumination.  Using focus staking techniques, the lens shades stop light from entering the objectives glass while the white surface reflects diffuse light onto the sample.  When observing microscope slides, the diffusers can reflect transmitted light back onto opaque materials such as gold and iron inclusions found in geological thin sections.

The diffuser with the smallest aperture with shade is for the 50-100x range, the diffuser with a large aperture with shade is for the 7.5-20x range and the diffuser with a large aperture and no shade is for the 1x-5x range.  The shade is a Lieberkuhn reflector designed to stop light from entering the objective at the source.  The white reflective surface is designed to softly illuminate the sample.  These diffusers work exceptionally well for the Mitutoyo range.

Description

Light diffusion is the key to a good macro or micro photograph.  Strong soft light with minimal reflection is ideal when photographing a color’s brilliance.   Polarizers are effective at reducing glare, but can flatten and darken a colors brilliance simultaneously.  Our approach to solving this problem is to combine Lieberkuhn reflectance with indirect lighting capable of preserving a colors brilliance while generating little to no glare or reflective properties commonly observed using first flash units, ring lights and polarizers.  We’ve tested our diffusers using everything from ball bearings, diamonds and biological cells with only stunning results to showcase.
