>>4295216Yeah, I just used a piece of glass. The microscope is called an epi-fluorescent microscope. It is designed to shine light on/look at the surfaces of shiny things like highly polished metals. It's an incredibly cool piece of kit to have around.
>tediousWell, I had to take like 100 pictures individually to make this section of a 35mm shot. If you made a jig to keep the film square to your scope stage, and had a special stage movement that clicked for every 1mm or whatever you could do it a lot better, but I was just going by eye.
My microscope has a lumenera infinity 2 digital sensor. It's only like 2 mp, but it's pretty good quality. New the damn thing is like 2k dollars for some reason...
Having a microscope film scanning setup is incredibly overkill for scanning full images, but could be an invaluable tool when experimenting with different developers/recipes because you can zoom in 250x on the grain, and really compare different recipes or whatever. You can even measure the size of individual grains if you wanted.
