My midterm project for Scientific Photo required me to create a scientific poster of a cross section of some subject. I chose the Castor oil plant. The larger photo was shot at 10x and is a composite comprised of over 1,000 photos that have been focus stacked and stitched together to create a wide field panorama. The smaller photo was shot at 40x. Here is a link to the full res interactive poster: http://appsciphoto2.cias.rit.edu/VirtualMicroscopes2014/studentpages/PerkinsAlexAssn3.html

Scientific Photo II Assignment 2: Brightfield Photomicrographs in Monochrome

Rochester, NY

Canon 5D Mark III, Olympus Microscope, 10x Objective

The objective of this assignment was to give us an idea of how different wavelengths of light affect our resolution when imaging under a microscope. In theory, the shorter the wavelength the better resolution we should be able to achieve. However, this is not apparent when using a DSLR's CMOS sensor. This kind of sensor uses red, green, and blue channels in order to create an image. Out of the three, the blue channel (shorter wavelengths) has the worst resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, while the green channel has the best. This is what accounts for the shorter wavelengths poor performance in this resolution testing assignment, at least, this is my theory for the reason why.

1. Full color

2. Full color BW converted

3. Red filter

4. Green filter
