QX3 Digital Image Gallery
Aluminum Foil
After crumpling a small section of aluminum foil, we unfolded and flattened the wrinkles before taping it to a microscope slide with double-sided tape. The microscopic aluminum hills and valleys are visible can then be easily examined under reflected brightfield illumination with the microscope.
These images were captured using the oblique illuminator built into the microscope head with the assistance of a Dolan-Jenner Model 180 fiber optics illuminator using a 150 watt projection lamp. The light pipes of the illuminator were placed at approximately a 45-degree angle with respect to the optical axis of the microscope and were positioned to evenly illuminate the specimen.
