So as you may already know, I'm fascinated by microphotography, which is, photography through a microscope. I would like to do some 4k time lapse of microscopic processes that might occur over many days, such as the turning of leaves from green to colorful, or the growth of fungi in Ultraviolet fluorescence microphotography! Unfortunately, the light that is given off from the UV torch seems to be different from that given off from a Backlight. Anyhow, I'm writing this post because I think I may have a new idea in store! I've got a microscope and even a polarizing filter. Could I improvise and somehow attach the polarizing filter to the microscope?
Once this issue gets solved and if it is possible, then I would put a wireless LCD screen on the bottom of the scope. Next I would put a piece of flat glass such as a microscope slide, raised above the screen, and then put a transparent/translucent specimen on the piece of glass. Then I would have to think about how to revolve the Polarizing filter to get varying angles of polarity. If there are any missing instructions in this "recipe" (recipe is just figuratively speaking) then I'm sure that me or even yourself could figure it out. I mean, it really isn't difficult, it's basically just a matter of improvising. I could then create a budget polarizing microscope, and create spectacular photos of, for example, ice crystals. I'm going to have to try this as soon as I can and if I do, then I will try to report on my findings. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention one caveat though; is the light from the LCD monitor enough to damage my camera, as it's magnified by the microscope? That's my concern. All of my work and improvisation could be for nothing. I would like some input from maybe a scientist though.
