Magnetic Viewing Film Under Microscope

Magnetic Viewing Film that shows the presence of magnetic fields. It is made of microscopic cells filled with fluid and ferromagnetic crystals. I do my best to get a good shot under my microscope.

The configuration I finally settled on was:

• 10X objective lens (plan achromatic)
• 10X eye piece (unscrewed so that only the lower lens was being used)
• Sony HDR-CX675 mounted on tripod
• manual focus
• stabilization disabled
• microscope base plate replaced with thin plastic sheet
• using both the mocroscope's backlight and the custom overhead light
