I finally got a chance to try out DIC on snowflakes. 10x achromat with DIC flash on BH-2.

Thanks, Frederic and Jens, these are the centers of the actual snowflakes and not impressions. I placed the microscope at -5C and collected flakes onto a black card and then placed them on the slide.

Me too, I took the precaution to wrap the scope when bringing it back in to avoid condensation. There doesn't appear to me any damage but I assume there may be some risk for separation of optical elements. It's like anything, risk is often part of achieving something new. I'm not sure I've seen DIC on snowflakes before so it was an exciting thing to try.pwnell wrote:Love the last one. I am too scared to take my new microscope out into the cold...
Thank you to everyone for the kind comments
