YOUR MICROSCOPE HOBBY: HOW TO MAKE MULTI-COLORED FILTERS: RHEINBERG, POLARIZING, DARKFIELD AND OBLIQUE
There are scant resources on the web and in books about Rheinberg filters, how they work, and how to make them. The author saves the reader the trouble of doing all that research by providing a step by step manual on microscope filter making.
For over a decade, the author has made microscope filters for universities around the world, for the Mayo Clinic, for professors, industrial scientists, hospital researchers, doctors and veterinarians on every continent, and for amateurs as well.
In addition to the main topic of Rheinberg filters, covered are polarization and oblique filter making, which adds to the repertoire of microscope contrast techniques. The book also lists many resources for products and related references about microscopy.
Loaded with over 144 photos and illustrations, included are bonus chapters showing the reader how to make a microscope camera adapter, a nice wooden filter case, and instructions for making a plant press.
Having created sets of Rheinberg filters for various makes and models of microscopes, new, old, and antique, the author shares all of his techniques. Besides being a course on microscope filter making, the book provides the key elements to setting up a home based business via the internet, with a complete marketing plan that can be applied to other hobbies and interests as well.
